Idyll is a markup language and compiler toolchain for authoring interactive articles, explorable explanations, and data-driven stories on the web. It extends markdown with reactive variables and React components, and ships with a CLI for building, live-reloading, and publishing standalone pages or multipage blogs.

Use cases

• write an explorable explanation with interactive charts
• publish a data journalism story with reactive variables
• create an interactive essay or tutorial that embeds D3 or Vega-Lite visuals
• build a multipage blog with interactive posts
• embed interactive components into an existing CMS or blog engine
• compile markdown-like markup into a standalone static webpage

When to choose

• you want markdown-like authoring plus reactive variables and React components
• you need static output deployable to GitHub Pages or any static host
• you want built-in components for charts, inputs, and layout in articles

When to avoid

• you need a general-purpose static site generator with heavy theming and plugin ecosystems
• you are building a traditional web application rather than article-style content
• you need a framework under active rapid development with frequent releases
• you want non-JavaScript authoring or non-React component ecosystems
