Is it just me or is the quality of the Boost API docs just.. kind of terrible? Like compare it to cppreference (very good) or Qt docs (also great).

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on reddit.com/r/cpp

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Access the most powerful time series database as a service
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • aedis

    An async redis client designed for performance and scalability [Moved to: https://github.com/boostorg/redis]

    Can I have a feedback on this doc: https://mzimbres.github.io/aedis/

  • boost

    cmake based plugable static compiled boost library (by microcai)

    Not at all. There is no "they", the Boost Libraries is just a collection of individual libraries that each have their own author or maintainer, usually unpaid (although the C++ Alliance has changed that somewhat). The only funding that "Boost" gets is from running the C++Now conference, and some of that pays for the hosting of boost.org.

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • diataxis-documentation-framework

    "The Grand Unified Theory of Documentation" (David Laing) - a popular and transformative documentation authoring framework (by divio)

    Bringing newcomers up to speed is not the purpose of a reference, though. For that, a different kind of documentation is needed. This site gives a good overview over which kind of documentation is a good fit for which purpose: https://documentation.divio.com/

  • MkDocs

    Project documentation with Markdown.

    https://www.mkdocs.org/ is what they are using.
