Ask HN: Best platform for hosting documentation for your product (paid, or not)

5 pointsby abhaysaxena_hkover 4 years ago
What are you guys using for your products&#x27; technical documentation? I am looking for a service, or even a GitHub repo which we can host ourselves where our documentation team can put up technical documentation.<p>In addition to product docs, we also want to create a learning center about real-estate (which is the industry we are in)<p>Ideal requirements are - Ability to write content in markdown - Display articles by category - show TOC inside an article - Follow good SEO practices<p>I have looked at Zendesk, which is expensive. Also looked at Crisp (which is a messenger and but also has Helpdesk). The problem with Crisp is that the articles are kind of locked in their platform.<p>(I am not associated with either of those companies)<p>What do you guys use?

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gitbook.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gitbook.com&#x2F;</a><p>or <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docusaurus.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docusaurus.io&#x2F;</a> by Facebook which gives more control and it seems you use Javascript&#x2F;React already for your frontend (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=25784642" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=25784642</a>)<p>Both use markdown.

GitHub Wikis are legit and very useful! Not sure if you mean specific function documentation... Check out clojuredocs. I&#x27;m not sure what the backend is but the ability to quickly search and see related functions is really nice.

Would Read the Docs suit your needs?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.readthedocs.io&#x2F;en&#x2F;stable&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.readthedocs.io&#x2F;en&#x2F;stable&#x2F;</a>

How technical are your docs? Are your customers using a SaaS or are they programming against your APIs?
