One will want to be aware of the licensing for this: <a href="https://github.com/retypeapp/retype/blob/v2.2.0/LICENSE.md" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/retypeapp/retype/blob/v2.2.0/LICENSE.md</a><p>"Free" as in beer, it seems
There's also HonKit, which is a fork of gitbook.<p><a href="https://github.com/honkit/honkit" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/honkit/honkit</a>
Doesn't Docusarus provide this already? Mdbook is alternative, but albeit far more limited in extended Markdown features. I wish Hugo would include a default theme that you can just point at a recursive directory of markdown files without needing silly _index.md files. JavaScript tooling is very bloated. Would be nice to have something like this in Go or Rust.
This doesn't appear to be a valid alternative to Gitbook. I couldn't even see a git integration feature which is a/the key feature of Gitbook. This feels more like an alternative to the plethora of static site generators that already exist.
I was initially quite impressed with the quality of the output and the feature set available. Well done! In addition, the github actions seem to make this a very quick drop-in solution which is something I need for several projects now (and have been putting off due to the heft & process of existing tools).<p>However, after looking through the documentation, I finally stumbled on the mention of a license requirement. The license page is quite buried and does not appear on the navigation which makes it seem like it was intentionally hidden as a "gotcha", though I don't believe that was the intent. The page limits, while high, are somewhat unsettling. As well as the domain limits even with a pro version. I would want to apply this to a handful of my open source projects which would already require ~$200-$300 (yearly should I want updates).<p>Those arbitrary limitations on otherwise impressive software will likely keep me from using it. Though, I know I'm rather picky when it comes to the tools I use, so my opinions may not be representative.
For me, the killer feature of Gitbook is something like « branched content? » (<a href="https://docs.gitbook.com/editing-content/editing-pages/change-requests" rel="nofollow">https://docs.gitbook.com/editing-content/editing-pages/chang...</a>).<p>Retype without this type of feature is like many other documentation website generators.
I really wish this was actually open source. It's hard to build communities around shareware. You could even dual-license Retype if you wanted to let homelab selfhosters enjoy and disseminate the product without turning them into potential hostages.
