What is n8n-demo-website?

This is a documentation website for n8n, a workflow automation platform. It's a simple site designed to showcase how n8n works and help people get started using it. The website is built using a tool called MkDocs, which is a straightforward way to turn written documentation into a browsable website. Someone on the n8n team writes documentation in plain text files, and MkDocs automatically converts those into web pages. The README shows how to run the site locally on your own computer for testing, or deploy it online so others can visit it. You'd use this repository if you're part of the n8n project and want to maintain or update their demo and documentation site. It's the kind of project that lives alongside the main n8n tool, a place to explain features, show examples, and help new users understand what the product does. The repository itself doesn't contain the actual automation platform, it's purely the educational website that teaches people about it. The setup is lightweight and developer-friendly: clone the code, install one package (mkdocs-material, which is a nicely styled template for documentation), and then run a single command to preview the site locally. From there, you can deploy it to GitHub Pages (a free hosting service GitHub provides) so it's live on the internet. This approach is popular for open-source and company-run projects that want to keep documentation separate from code but easy to maintain alongside it.
