What Editsaurus is

Editsaurus is a free visual editor for Docusaurus documentation that lets users make changes in a browser alongside a local Docusaurus site. Text on the page can be edited directly, with changes displayed in a real-time preview. Editsaurus automatically saves changes to the matching Markdown files in the project, using `.md` or `.mdx` files. To start, run `npx editsaurus` from the root of an existing Docusaurus project. It requires Node.js version 18 or higher and says it aims to support recent Docusaurus versions. The project describes Editsaurus as open source and community driven, and as an extension to Docusaurus rather than an intrusive dependency. Its Free plan is listed as free and includes all features. The tool is specific to Docusaurus documentation and runs alongside a local site, so users need an existing project and the required Node.js version before they can use it.
