## 🚀 Quickstart
```bash
cargo install docanvil
docanvil new my-docs
cd my-docs
docanvil serve
```
Open [localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) — your site is live with hot reloading. ⚡
When you're ready to deploy:
```bash
docanvil build
```
Static HTML goes to `dist/`, ready to host anywhere.
## ✨ Why DocAnvil?
Most documentation tools either look great but lock you in, or give you control but demand hours of configuration. DocAnvil gives you both — a site you'll be proud of out of the box, with the flexibility to make it your own.
