Blume Took Product Hunt's #1 Slot With an MIT-Licensed Docs Framework That Ships llms.txt and an MCP Server by Default — and Quiver Is Migrating Off Mintlify to It

Blume, built by Hayden Bleasel, topped Product Hunt today with 133 upvotes: point its CLI at a Markdown folder and it drives a hidden Astro + Vite project into a production docs site with zero config, with `blume eject` producing a standalone Astro app. What makes it a SaaS-displacement story rather than another static site generator is that the AI surface is built in — llms.txt, per-page Markdown, and an MCP server — alongside 30+ MDX components, Orama local search, and OpenAPI/AsyncAPI reference via Scalar. Named early adopters include Quiver, moving over from Mintlify, and Neon's add-mcp docs; the underlying framework first shipped in mid-July, so today's event is the Product Hunt launch, not the initial release.
