Good docs software I can use for guides about my app's integrations to users?
Looking for a way to write up knowledge base docs for my web-app to explain to users how to integrate it in different platforms.
Knowledge base needs to support code snippets (embedding Git Gists works of course) out of the box and be convenient to use to write up and modify articles. Also, preferably, not something with monthly payments off the start (I only need 3-4 articles now, down the line I'd be willing to pay of course). So far I found these, but they either don't support Git Gists or cost money right out of the box:

https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence (monthly fee).

Would love your take on this. Thanks!
I've built a static site generator which might be helpful in getting a docs/help site up and running. Only thing if you'd need to create the frontend stuff yourself as we don't give you anything out of the box.

I've used slate to create an API doc, it might be useful for your purpose but if you're not technical it won't be easy for you to set up:

Here's an example of a simple API doc created with slate:

Looks like a great fit, thanks for that! In case someone looks at this thread in the near future for a solution, I also found this cool tool that turns your Google Drive into a single-page documentation:

It's also free for sole editors, which is sweet.
