Or please share any API documentation tools you use that is opensource and NOT Swagger.

Stripe has Markdoc[0] but it doesn't seem to be automated in any way.

Hey, co-founder of Fern (https://www.buildwithfern.com/) here.

I too am inspired by Stripe's API documentation. Specifically, I like that it:

1. shows the API reference alongside the requests and responses

2. gives code examples of how to use the client libraries (e.g. python, node.js, go, java)

3. is one, continuously scrolling page

We built Fern Docs so that for $150/month you can get Stripe-like documentation. Fun fact: Stripe's Head of Docs (Ian McCrystal) even backed Fern as an angel investor.

You can get started for free. Pay only when you need a custom domain (e.g. your-site.com/docs).

Here's a starter repo: https://github.com/fern-api/docs-starter
