configu VS mdBook

As we celebrate Hacktoberfest, we at Configu invite you to be part of our mission to redefine software configuration management. We've set out to tackle the persistent challenge of configuration chaos, and we're making strides every day. If you're searching for a place to make a significant impact this Hacktoberfest, consider Configu. Delve into our open-source repository, understand our vision, and contribute to shaping our journey. If you're unsure where to begin or need some help along the way, our Configu Discord community is always here to guide you. For newcomers, we recommend starting with issues labeled 'good-first-issues'.

Enter Configu, an open source implementation of the concept of Configuration-as-Code, ensuring that the code remains the source of truth. But we didn't stop there. We've just launched a new feature called configu find that takes configuration management to the next level.

Thanks Geva for sharing my article.

In this piece, I delve into the world of application configuration, discussing the drawbacks of using environment variables stored in env files and introducing the powerful alternative - Configuration as Code (CaC).

Looking forward to your thoughts! and If you're intrigued, I invite you to explore our open-source project on GitHub: https://github.com/configu/configu

I'm responsible for a number of Java products. I try to provide high-quality Javadoc for all public library interfaces, library user's guides where appropriate, and development guides for applications. The latter two take the form of MDBook documents (https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/), with the document source living in the GitHub repo so that it's tied to the particular software release in a natural way.

My org has used mdBook: https://rust-lang.github.io/mdBook/ (That link is itself a rendered mdBook, so that'll give you an idea of the feature set.)

(While it's definitely a Rust "thing", if you just have a set of .md files, all you need is a "SUMMARY.md" (which contains the ToC) and a small config file; i.e., you don't have to have any Rust code to use it, and it works fine without. We document a large, mostly non-Rust codebase with it.)

If you want the lowest friction, open source, easily extensible Markdown to Web, Kindle, PDF, etc. tool, highly recommend mdBook: https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook it’s written in Rust, but you don’t have to know any Rust to use it. And then wing is all CSS; for which there are many good (free) themes.
