just-the-docs VS Read the Docs

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

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.

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/

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.

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.

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.

Especially if you're already familiar with Jekyll. Bonus points for being able to deploy on GitHub Pages!

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.

I went to https://readthedocs.org/ and redirected me to https://about.readthedocs.com/?ref=readthedocs.org which looks proprietary now, with pricing and such.

Is it the end of this project, as we know it?

Can someone enlighten me please?

First things first, sign up on Read the Docs and connect your GitHub account. This allows Read the Docs to access your repositories.

ReadTheDocs - ReadTheDocs hosts documentation for many Django packages. It provides easy access to comprehensive documentation, including installation instructions, configuration guides, and usage examples.

fixes are here: https://github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org/issues/10290

Read the Docs offers free hosting of Sphinx-based documentation. I recommend setting up a basic documentation very early so that you can easily add material when you have something to write about. I also recommend studying The Grand Unified Theory of Documentation, but don't overthink it.

ReadTheDocs: An open-source platform for creating and hosting documentation, with support for multiple programming languages and integration with version control systems.

Well, by now I really invite all the readers to join and read more about the datadelivery Terraform module. There is a huge documentation page hosted on readthedocs with many useful information about how this project can help users on their analytics journey in AWS.

ReadTheDocs is a free way to host your open-source documentation.

They are using this infrastructure as the moat. ReadTheDocs is also doing the same thing.

Deploy if you dare: https://github.com/readthedocs/readthedocs.org

That "/*/tree" rule means that search engine crawlers are allowed to hit the README file of a repo but effectively NONE of the other files in it.

Which means that if you keep your project documentation on GitHub in a docs/ folder it won't be indexed!

You need to publish it to a separate site via GitHub Pages, or use https://readthedocs.org/
