This PR refactors the documentation HTML sections to use VitePress, making the codebase significantly more maintainable and providing a better developer experience with comprehensive manual documentation.
Problem
The existing documentation used static HTML files (
index.html,blog.html,browser-compat-data.html) which were difficult to maintain:.mdfiles but manual docs were in.mdxformat, breaking navigationSolution
Implemented a complete VitePress-based documentation system that:
🎯 Converts HTML to Markdown
