  • slate

    Beautiful static documentation for your API

    For API-specific docs I use Slate as I like the code sample section off to the right. I converted our previous severely lacking Swagger setup to a full-featured framework with Slate that has significantly reduced the number of support emails regarding API questions.

  • Docusaurus

    Easy to maintain open source documentation websites.

    For all other docs that are not developer-focused (we have a bunch of interactive user manuals available online for our SaaS), I use Docusaurus. We're using V1 right now, but I am thinking about migrating us to V2.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
