TSDocs.dev: type docs for any JavaScript library
This is a better looking version of what Java and C# have had for a long time (kudos to the author for that!), is that the inspiration for this tool?

I saw the author mentioned in another comment that they found themselves peeping inside type declaration files "too often". While I do often use sites generated by the above tools to discover new API's that suit my needs, diving into the actual code using a good decompiler is still my first move, as it is often cheaper than seeking out the documentation online, and it will show me the actual implementation as well. So in my opinion there is no shame in looking inside the declaration files!

Library / Codebase Documentation - Multiple aggregated libraries - How to create? DocFx does not support this?
We would really prefer to use a somewhat generic pre-made tool for this (such as DocFX) compared to rolling our own solution. We can roll our own solution... But would prefer not to so that we can minimize development and maintenance overhead.
