How do you make Docs?

How do you make documentation? do you use a service that has preset formats? or do you make your own documentation page?

    don't have to go anything crazy... i've seen some folks use notion or even dropbox paper or google docs... whatever gets the job done!

    We built ours from scratch using plain old React, https://violet.dev. By implementing everything as a reusable component we were able to complete the entire thing in less than a day. In my opinion this was faster than trying to find a third-party service that we could conform to meet our needs.

      Thanks for the quick reply! I figured it could be really quick if I built it in react. Im just lazy and dont want to style it haha I was just wondering if I could easily have a template

    I like to use gitbook for docs: https://gitbook.com.

    It’s free if you’re solo and can handle the basic customizations they offer.

    I'm working on something new that might be of interest to you (my one-line pitch is help bootstrappers deliver Stripe's developer experience). Email in my profile if you're interested.

    I use dokz, it is based on nextjs and mdx

    Mkdocs with the Material theme is a standard goto for me! Can deploy to Netlify with easy.

    Super easy and quick to get started and it looks great too

    Documentation for what specifically? for yourself? an API? something else?

      Ummm all of the above I guess, just wondering how you would make them fast
