jingo VS diataxis-documentation-framework

I use jingo as a personal wiki. It uses markdown syntax and provides a simple online editing interface. Not sure how it scales but you can self host and it’s free. https://github.com/claudioc/jingo

Hadn't heard of this before, looks very cool. For anyone interested: https://github.com/claudioc/jingo

I use Jingo (https://github.com/claudioc/jingo). It's built with NodeJS, uses Markdown, and stores everything in a git repository automatically pushed to a remote repository (in my case Bitbucket). That way everything is in plain text and has full version history should I ever want to move to another system.

Perhaps it could be restructured to separate out the howto from the explanation to serve the reader’s intended use at the time as described here: https://diataxis.fr

Create an organized repository for regularly updated documentation, making it easy to access important information.

Such integration capabilities really help push the developer productivity, whether that's in single-project workspaces or monorepos. Juri also dives deeper into efforts from the team to provide high quality educational content around Nx and its capabilities. The Nx docs have been restructured to follow the Diataxisframework, dividing content into into learning-, task-, understanding- and information-oriented sections.

I think people may be missing the core point of this article.

Anton has built a new thing, https://codapi.org/ - which provides a web component that makes it easy to embed interactive code snippets for HTTP APIs, Python code and more directly in pages of documentation.

This article demonstrates this new technology in the context of the https://diataxis.fr/ documentation framework, which recommends going beyond just straight API reference documentation and ensuring you cover tutorials, how-to guides and explanations as well.

I think this is really cool.

As much as possible on all facets, because that is what "documentation" means, and if you are a product manager who wasn't paying attention in product management 101 and need some guidance on what "documentation" is, try reading this first.

"The Diátaxis framework aims to solve the problem of structure in technical documentation. It adopts a systematic approach to understanding the needs of documentation users in their cycle of interaction with a product.

Diátaxis identifies four modes of documentation - tutorials, how-to guides, technical reference and explanation. It derives its structure from the relationship between them.(...)"
