Ask HN: Having hard time finding a good alternative to gitbook.com

9 pointsby node-bayareaalmost 7 years ago
Having hard time finding a good alternative to gitbook.com. I&#x27;m looking for a really modern hosted service like Gitbook.com. Gitbook s support doesn&#x27;t seem to respond at all. There is no way to call them, so I&#x27;m looking for something else.<p>I know there is gatsbyjs.com, hexo.com and others that allow us to build one, but I&#x27;m looking for plug-and-play service where I write docs in markdown&#x2F;html and setup the CNAME of my company&#x27;s domain and be done with it. Any suggestions would be really helpful!

I used github pages with gitbook-cli for a project and it worked well. I set up a Travis integration to automatically build the book on commit. Life got in the way so I ended up not keeping up with it (I added other people as contributors but they haven&#x27;t kept it up either). The other benefit was that I could select gitbook plugins that gitbook.com didn&#x27;t support itself (particularly the LaTeX stuff).<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rabuf&#x2F;applied-category-theory" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;rabuf&#x2F;applied-category-theory</a><p>This deployment scheme worked really well for me after I got it all tuned (my first experience with Travis so I screwed up a bunch of little things). I imagine any other CI&#x2F;CD platform would be equivalent.

Hi @node-bayarea, Have you tried vuepress? (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vuepress.vuejs.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vuepress.vuejs.org&#x2F;</a>)<p>I use vuepress for my project and I love it. It is not just for vue users. Pros: SEO friendly - among others<p>Also, I&#x27;d recommend docsify (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docsify.js.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docsify.js.org&#x2F;</a>) Pros: Super easy to use.
