Thanks @tuler

Actually found the problem, the quickfix is simply to delete the src/pages/index.js file.

it's an annoying internal issue we have where when 2 pages are created for the same url ("/" in this case), the props of the pages are somehow "merged" silently, and we end up in a weird state. Related to #2917

Until I have a proper fix for this problem, will add a warning and document docs only mode better

I have the same issue with a similar setup (docs-only mode). What did you do to find the fix? Not sure how to debug, and I have deleted the src/pages/index.js

@charlax newest versions shouldn't have this problem anymore
