slate VS Outline

Slate (Free)

https://github.com/slatedocs/slate this ! Big company use it ( stripe etc )

The second most common question being "What framework does Stripe use to build their documentation?" and the answer has unfortunately always been "They use a custom setup they built themselves and isn't available." － so then Slate gets brought up as a suitable replacement

DocuAPI is a multilingual API documentation theme for Hugo created and maintained by Bjørn Erik Pedersen, the lead maintainer and co-creator of Hugo itself. It’s built on top of the Slate API docs generator, which itself was inspired by Stripe’s and PayPal’s API docs. The JavaScript section of DocuAPI has been rewritten from Jquery to AlpineJS.​​​​​​

I've used Slate to document APIs which similarly will produce a local website. You can host that privately or there's built in support to push to github pages if you're hosting it in a github repo. The documentation itself is all written in markdown and managed separate from your API code.

If you are going to use Slate from the console you need to install it, along with all its prerequisites, as described here. In Ubuntu you can execute the commands:

Outline is another open-source tool I’ve been using lately for note-taking and knowledgebase purposes. Previously, my app of choice for this was Bear.app. It worked out well for markdown notes, but I needed something more like a wiki to organize content. I discovered Outline in late 2022 and found it to be a snappy experience and just what I needed: nestable collections, markdown, and a decent search experience. Outline delivers that and more. It also offers real-time collaborative editing like Google Docs and public shares for either a single page or for all nested pages of a share.

Just be careful that while it is self-hostable and the source is available, it is not open source [1,2]. If this is something important for your consideration before using it.

Try outline or trillium

Outline is a simple, fast and sweet Wiki software, I recommend, this is an open source projet, the community is reactive and even the SaaS platform pricing is really honest !

Have a look at https://www.getoutline.com/

I'm really impressed by the product. Seems to be a good Confluence alternative.
