  3. JSDoc

    An API documentation generator for JavaScript.

    Project mention: Just Say No to JavaScript | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-10

    I've seen several ways of annotating Javascript that IDEs seem to understand. They usually involve using comments before fields, classes, or functions.

    The most compliant one seems to be using [JSDoc](https://jsdoc.app/). JSDoc is mostly intended for generating documentation. However, the Typescript compiler can validate types (and can even interoperate with Typescript definitions), if you configure it as such.

    In scenarios where you HAVE to write raw Javascript but still would like to do some type validation, this is probably the best solution.

    It looks a bit like this:

  6. Typemill

    Typemill is a lightweight, flat-file CMS designed for simple, fast, and flexible website and eBook creation using Markdown.

    Project mention: Open Source Needs a New Business Model – What if AI Could Help? | dev.to | 2025-02-12

    I’ve been running Typemill, a small flat-file CMS for publishing documentation and handbooks, for eight years now. Last year, I introduced paid plugins as a way to support development. It hasn't worked well. Let’s be honest – competing with massive plugin ecosystems is nearly impossible for smaller projects.

  7. testing-library-docs

    docs site for @testing-library/*

    Project mention: What we learned by running an accessibility audit of our app | dev.to | 2025-02-11

    By the way, Storybook uses Testing Library, which you can think of as an element selector tool with accessibility in mind. For instance, it won't let you retrieve an element by its class name but forces you to check its role or name (remember the accessibility tree we talked about above?). This is because we should test what the user faces, not the underlying code. It might seem like a small detail, but it sets you in the right mindset when testing.

  9. Nutrient

    Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers. Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

    Project mention: Unit Tests as Documentation | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-17

    Not that this solves the hard problem, but there's a simonw post for that: https://simonwillison.net/2018/Jul/28/documentation-unit-tes...

    Including screenshots, which a lot of tech writing teams raise as a maintenance burden: https://simonwillison.net/2022/Oct/14/automating-screenshots...

    Then there are tools like Doc Detective to inline tests in the docs, making them dependent on each other; if documented steps stop working, the test derived from them fails: https://doc-detective.com/
