Bridge Markdown and React for rich technical content
Open-source library that combines Markdown and React to build modern, interactive technical content websites with advanced code presentation and scrollytelling capabilities.
Code Hike is a TypeScript-based library designed for developers and technical writers who want to create engaging documentation, tutorials, and educational content that goes beyond static Markdown. By seamlessly bridging Markdown and React, it enables rich, interactive experiences while maintaining the simplicity of writing in Markdown.
The library excels at presenting code with advanced syntax highlighting and supports scrollytelling techniques that make complex technical concepts easier to follow. It's built for teams creating developer documentation, API portals, technical blogs, and educational platforms where code presentation matters. The React integration allows you to embed custom components and interactive elements directly within your Markdown content.
Code Hike integrates with Next.js workflows and can be started quickly using the official starter template. The MIT license makes it suitable for both commercial and personal projects. With TypeScript at its core and support for MDX, it provides type safety and component flexibility for modern web development stacks.
When teams consider CodeHike, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Interactive API Documentation
Create living documentation where code examples update dynamically and users can interact with API responses inline
Step-by-Step Coding Tutorials
Build scrollytelling experiences that highlight code changes as users scroll through tutorial steps
Technical Blog Platform
Launch a developer blog with rich code presentation, syntax highlighting, and embedded interactive demos
Educational Programming Content
Develop course materials that combine explanatory text with live code examples and visual progression
Code Hike is designed to work with React and integrates particularly well with Next.js. The official starter uses Next.js as the foundation.
Basic React knowledge helps, especially for customization. However, you can start with Markdown and gradually add React components as needed.
Scrollytelling is a technique where content changes or highlights as users scroll, making it easier to follow complex technical explanations and code transformations.
Yes, Code Hike is MIT licensed, allowing use in both commercial and personal projects without restrictions.
