Gojekyll – 20x faster Go port of jekyll
I think GitHub Pages only supports a whitelist of plugins, so you might have some more difficulties solving it well without any plugins. I use Netlify for my site, which does support arbitrary plugins.
One quick way to make it faster is to include that "_includes/nav.html" only in a nav.html, and then use an iframe to load that on every page, or something like that.
Anyway, I'm not the first to notice this it seems, although even "twice as fast" would still be quite slow: https://github.com/just-the-docs/just-the-docs/issues/1323

Having the rules and mechanics easily accessible in a webpage/site.
If it can help, there was a commenter earlier who suggested trying out a Doc-style github page that you can easily fork. It also has its own built-in search. Comment here. Github page here.

Looking for advice: does any one use GitHub/GitClassroom to store and mange their course content?
So the basic idea is I use the Jekyll site generator (which is already built into GitHub pages, but you can also install locally), and this is the theme I use: https://just-the-docs.github.io/just-the-docs/
- Is legit to use Github pages for non-coding purposes?
- Keep your diagrams updated with continuous delivery

Open Source Like
That's certainly an option. Games like Liminal Horror and Into the Dungeon Revived host versions on GitHub. You can then render it to a GitHub.io page using something like Just the Docs.

Compiling findings to website
The pages are written in markdown and the site has an in-built search feature. I am using the https://github.com/just-the-docs/just-the-docs jekyll theme.

Atlassian Patch Critical Confluence Hardcoded Credentials Bug
The only people that like confluence have Stockholm syndrome. I'd argue that a wiki is the old people way of thinking. In most orgs a wiki is where data goes to die but some asshole keeps throwing data in there to appease some other asshole. I rather search slack, https://github.com/just-the-docs/just-the-docs, project boards in github, anything is better than confluence and I couldn't agree more that confluence search is the biggest piece of shit ever, it's worse than useless, it wastes your time.

Ask HN: What do people use for documentation sites these days?
https://pmarsceill.github.io/just-the-docs/
Especially if you're already familiar with Jekyll. Bonus points for being able to deploy on GitHub Pages!

Tags-based documentation build (contextual documentation)
You can use 'Just the Docs' (https://github.com/pmarsceill/just-the-docs) for documentation - it's a Jekyll-based theme for documentation and has built-in search.

Ask HN: How do you organize software documentation at work?
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.

Outline: Self hostable, realtime, Markdown compatible knowledge base
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.)

Ask HN: Best tools for self-authoring books in 2023?
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.
