Ask HN: What are you using for public documentation these days?

174 点作者 vital101超过 3 年前
On a new side project I&#x27;m working on I need to have a fair amount of documentation for usage, implementation, options, etc. In the past I&#x27;ve used https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docsify.js.org hosted on Vercel, but I was curious if there is anything else out there people like. Looking for free or paid options. So long has I can host on a subdomain I&#x27;m indifferent.<p>Thanks!

We are using Docusaurus (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docusaurus.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docusaurus.io&#x2F;</a> ).<p><pre><code> - it is easy to configure&#x2F;customise - looks really great out of the box - solid documentation - fast </code></pre> In our case, we just had to change the colors and font. Here is our Docusaurus code if that&#x27;s helpful: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ToolJet&#x2F;ToolJet&#x2F;tree&#x2F;develop&#x2F;docs" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ToolJet&#x2F;ToolJet&#x2F;tree&#x2F;develop&#x2F;docs</a> and here is the live documentation: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.tooljet.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.tooljet.com&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;m using mkdocs with the material plugins [1]. I&#x27;m running it mainly for a Blockchain Education site for my labs from my course, which seems to be fine [2].<p>I did a fair amount of customization though, so I am running all this as mkdocs plugins, not directly from the materials project.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;squidfunk.github.io&#x2F;mkdocs-material&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;squidfunk.github.io&#x2F;mkdocs-material&#x2F;</a> [2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ethereum-blockchain-developer.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ethereum-blockchain-developer.com</a>

I have an unfinished side project called Documentation Page:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;documentation.page&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;documentation.page&#x2F;</a><p>It&#x27;s &quot;unfinished&quot; because I&#x27;d need to integrate payments and do all the accounting on my side (non-trivial as an individual living in Japan), but otherwise it&#x27;s worked pretty well for my own projects.<p>It parses your Github Repo to generate the website. You can define your docs as a single readme.md file, a folder called &quot;documentation&quot;, or custom configuration otherwise. Some examples hosted by Documentation Page:<p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;statux.dev&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;statux.dev&#x2F;</a>: simple single-page docs and website, menu config in <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;franciscop&#x2F;statux&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;documentation.page.json" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;franciscop&#x2F;statux&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;documentati...</a>.<p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;react-test.dev&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;react-test.dev&#x2F;</a>: split into multiple pages, you specify the folder and it&#x27;ll automatically merge the markdown files.

Basic markdown and Sphinx to build into HTML, publishing via github pages. It&#x27;s an open source project so putting the docs alongside the code just makes sense. Although Sphinx isn&#x27;t great for my money, it gets the job done.

We use GitBook at Garden (docs.garden.io).<p>It&#x27;s zero effort which is important for a small team like ours. Allows us to focus on the content as opposed to bikeshedding design.<p>Overall I&#x27;m happy with the look and feel of things and the support is typically good.<p>That being said, they recently shipped changes that essentially made the docs site impossibly slow for a few days. They&#x27;ve been working on fixing that and it&#x27;s better, but not as snappy as before. I also preferred the previous look (it&#x27;s very similar but the new one is a bit more clunky imo).<p>We do have a lot of long code examples (YAML reference docs) which I think may contribute to the &quot;sluggishness&quot;.<p>But overall I&#x27;d recommend if you want to minimise effort and maintenance. In any case it&#x27;s easy to give it a spin and see if it works for you.

We (Handsontable) now use VuePress[1] for our docs[2] and we are very happy with it. The best feature for us is the ease of customization.<p>Our challenge right now with the docs is to get a fantastic code snippet runner there. But that&#x27;s beyond the scope of your regular documentation management tool, I suppose. VuePress will make it easy for us to integrate our solution.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vuepress.vuejs.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;vuepress.vuejs.org&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;handsontable.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;handsontable.com&#x2F;docs&#x2F;</a>

Markdown, Gatsby. Source is in GitHub, GHA builds the HTML output, then schleps it over to an S3 bucket.<p>I inherited this setup. Works great from my end, but we&#x27;ve got an engineering team that set it up and owns the plumbing of everything. That&#x27;s key, because many orgs have a &quot;we set it up, now it runs forever and you deal with it&quot; mentality. And Gatsby has a super steep learning curve. And I&#x27;m not a designer.<p>Previously used Jekyll and still use it (minimally) for my blog. Jekyll is okay but once you get past a couple hundred pages, performance gets exponentially worse. Had a site with a few thousand pages, and builds would take an hour or more. And that org had the aforementioned problem. A team designed it, then got laid off, and I&#x27;m trying to read a dummies book to figure out what size hammer to hit the thing with.<p>I&#x27;ve been in this for 25 years, so I&#x27;ve used about everything else. Flare, DITA, FrameMaker, RoboHelp, PageMaker. No typewriters, thankfully.

We use [TypeDoc](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;typedoc.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;typedoc.org&#x2F;</a>) to generate documentation from all of our TypeScript. It combines type definitions with surrounding comment blocks for easily navigable, clean documentation.<p>For non-TypeScript codebases, we use [Docusaurus](<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docusaurus.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docusaurus.io&#x2F;</a>).<p>I believe there are also plugins which can make TypeDoc output compatible with Docusaurus.<p>None of our docs are public at the moment, but a good example of documentation generated by TypeDoc would be Amazon&#x27;s `aws-sdk`: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.aws.amazon.com&#x2F;AWSJavaScriptSDK&#x2F;v3&#x2F;latest&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.aws.amazon.com&#x2F;AWSJavaScriptSDK&#x2F;v3&#x2F;latest&#x2F;index...</a>

(That subset being “the constructs that are used in the man pages that it&#x27;s used on”.)<p>Some of the styling could be improved (those section headings for one!), but IMHO it produces better results than other more general-purpose manpage to HTML converters: see e.g. &lt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.htslib.org&#x2F;doc&#x2F;samtools.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.htslib.org&#x2F;doc&#x2F;samtools.html</a>&gt;.

I am frequently working on ways to document inline with the code using comments and then extract those comments during the build process to keep documentation up to date automatically. The comments are formatted as mark down so that they may be converted from code comments to stand alone mark down documents.<p>I have also noticed that in VS Code a comment immediately preceding a type or interface declaration written in mark down format becomes formatted markdown in the tooltip where that type is used.

As I read through these comments (and discover some interesting tools!) I want to give a word of caution for anyone using this thread to make a tooling choice. The &quot;best&quot; documentation system for you is heavily dependent on your product [1], your contributors [2], and your ability to maintain&#x2F;customize the underlying tooling. Just because you&#x27;re seeing Tool X 10 times in this comment doesn&#x27;t necessarily mean it&#x27;s best for you!<p>[1] E.g. documenting an API is very different from documenting a GUI product<p>[2] E.g. on <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.dev</a> we had a large pool of authors. They were all fairly technical but even so we often ran into questions about build errors, etc.

Asciidoc and Antora. We document a product that has a bunch of micro services and each micro service is in a separate git repository. We store our documentation alongside the related code in git, so it is spread out across several git repositories. Antora makes it simple to pull asciidoc files from multiple git repositories and compile it all into one static site. It also has good search functionality and support for versioning using either git branches or tags.

TL;DR: Favorite stack is Notion -&gt; notion-markdown-cms -&gt; VuePress -&gt; netlify<p>So I&#x27;ve gone through a bit of journey doing docs for a product company. I feel that for a product company it&#x27;s really important to own your documentation and the publishing workflow as it&#x27;s a key part of your product.<p>GitBooks was my first stab. I liked git and markdown, however I disliked all the places where &quot;proprietary&quot; formatting&#x2F;features crept in and once it got more closed&#x2F;commercial wrt. publishing&#x2F;theming pipeline we went out.<p>We then adopted docusaurus v1 for our product documentation. It&#x27;s a great tool, but never really built custom components for it because we&#x27;re not a react shop. We did integrate some nice tools to work with our markdown tool (e.g. markdown-lint, custom code snippet injectors etc). One downside of docusaurus is how much friction there is to create a new page. You have to create a markdown file, insert frontmatter, add it to sidebars.json, reload the dev server, then insert your content.<p>When docusaurus announced v2, we considered adopting it. Instead, we started looking into VuePress vNext. What I love about it is that its configuration is TypeScript (vs. JSON). This allows us to generate things like navbars, sidebars from code instead of manually wrangling JSON. It uses Vite for bundling and the local editing experience is therefore much faster.<p>As you write more and more docs, markdown editing experience becomes important. VSCode + the right plugins can get you far, but we found they all did not feel &quot;fluent&quot; to the point where our team _loves_ writing documentation. People often complained that our company wiki (Notion) feels much nicer, so we built a tool that allows us to use Notion as a &quot;CMS&quot; for our documentation: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;meshcloud&#x2F;notion-markdown-cms" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;meshcloud&#x2F;notion-markdown-cms</a> It&#x27;s really handy because that way we get perks like organizing content with databases, link pages using @mention syntax, drag &amp; drop for screenshots etc. Publishing on netlify rounds it off.

Docusaurus. It is so easy. I only wish I could figure out how to integrate xterm.js into it.

Background: I&#x27;ve been a technical writer for 9 years. 6 at Google, 3 as the only writer at an IoT startup.<p>I helped Corrily with their docs [1] in August. They were interested in ReadMe.io. I wasn&#x27;t keen on it because I had worked with Retool on their docs (hosted in ReadMe) a few years back and had found ReadMe lacking. But I was pleasantly surprised by how much it has progressed since then! If you&#x27;re looking for a documentation product that is very easy to update and mostly just works, then it&#x27;s worth checking out. The pricing structure gets steep very quickly though.<p>On <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.dev</a> I was introduced to Eleventy. Eleventy [2] is now my go to. The documentation for Eleventy itself is very strangely organized and needs a refactor. But I have found that there is always a way to accomplish whatever I need, and usually elegantly. Eleventy requires a lot of customization and probably wouldn&#x27;t be a great fit for a huge contributor group with varying technical skill. If you&#x27;re working solo or with a small team of technical people and need to do some deep customization it can be great.<p>Another project worth checking out is Docsy [3]. This is a Jekyll template specifically created for technical documentation.<p>Back at the IoT startup I had to set up the whole documentation system &#x2F; tooling myself. I used Sphinx [4] and deployed to Heroku. Haven&#x27;t used Sphinx since then but I remember being satisfied with it back then. reStructuredText, the flavor (?) of Markdown Sphinx uses, has some very nice features. I remember they had a very intuitive way to create tables. CSV format, I think... Again I was mostly updating the docs solo so &quot;ease of contributing&quot; wasn&#x27;t a deciding factor (although when I left they might have struggled to update the docs, so maybe ease of contributing should always be a key factor).<p>I&#x27;ll strike while the iron is hot here and mention that I&#x27;ll probably be back on market in March - April and love to set up documentation systems (as well as write docs of course) if your company needs help with that. Poke around on my website (link in HN bio) to find my contact.<p>Edit: I left another comment in this thread cautioning to be careful when choosing a doc tool: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=29266957" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=29266957</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.corrily.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.corrily.com</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;11ty.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;11ty.dev</a><p>[3] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docsy.dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docsy.dev</a><p>[4] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sphinx-doc.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;master&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sphinx-doc.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;master&#x2F;</a>

Curious about why html&#x2F;css is the default option here, its seems like something that is easier to save offline would dominate.
