front-matter VS docsify

front-matter parser

What we want is for our editor to take the combination of front-matter data and markup, then be able to extract the two before storing that data separately somewhere. We'll be using the front-matter module to extract the data we need from the text editor content.

Hello, FYI: I used https://docsify.js.org/ that turns markdown files into a static website without the need of building the site locally or in a CI. Example config. my 2c.

After reading your post again and this comment, I don't think Jekyll is the best choice. Something like GitBook, MkDocs, or Docsify would be a better solution as they let you control the organization and flow much better.

Docsify

On a new side project I'm working on I need to have a fair amount of documentation for usage, implementation, options, etc. In the past I've used https://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'm indifferent.

Thanks!

Docsify is a client-side only documentation generator. As a user requests a documentation page, it would fetch the associated .md file and render it all client-side. That meant that our documentation deployment process was simple again, as we could just push changes to the main branch and BOOM they would show up within seconds.

+1 more for Docsify and its Github repo. I know this subreddit is for self-hosted things, however I wanted to add Docsify works well with Github Pages (they host, you plug in your domain or subdomain).
