So what's the workflow for this?

Because this seems to be run locally, vs something hosted like a CMS.

You locally have a NodeJS app running, you draft a new page, it renders it for you in HTML/CSS, and then you upload the rendered output to your web server?

(Sorry for the naive question)

It would depend on the use case, but as this looks like it's aimed at a technical audience, you'd generally have some sort of CI/CD pipeline that renders the markdoc on a server and deploys the output accordingly, be it a react app, plain html, etc.

In many cases, authors would probably need to run the toolchain locally so they can preview their changes. But publishing would basically be the same as committing code and having a CI pipeline take it from there

you definitely need something around this, it lacks a lot of the other features in Hugo or Jekyll

Might be easier to graft into an existing, dynamic CMS (that uses a DB)
