Its predecessor (mkdocs material) supported blogs via a plugin and rss feeds via a mkdocs plugin (https://guts.github.io/mkdocs-rss-plugin/). I don't believe it supports blogs yet according to this: https://zensical.org/compatibility/#phased-transition-strate... but will in the next phase when it supports plugins.

It doesn't support loading content from a database that I'm aware of, it uses markdown files on disk as input.

Thanks for the information. If files on disk are a requirement that would be a shame. Such tools keep abstracting such that one can generate a plethora of output formats but don't abstract the input in such a way that one could programmatically add content. Even though that wouldn't stand in the way of using the filesystem as the source regardless.

It’s a requirement for now. But once the module system is in its possible to add other data sources.
