  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • Docusaurus

    Easy to maintain open source documentation websites.

  • Built on Docusaurus I believe, I like Timber.io's Vector documentation for their use of SVG[1] graphics[2] that help visually describe a lot of their concepts. I like their format for attribute definitions[3] as it's not always easy adding all the specific details elegantly to an attribute and most people just default to an unstyled table.

  • slate

    Beautiful static documentation for your API

  • While not as visually impressive with flashy graphics and UI elements, Twilio's documentation has similar Stripe vibes as I believe it's built on Slate which is about as close to Stripe's framework as you can get. I like the theme used[4] in the code sample section as it's a nice break from the standard colors and it's easy on the eyes.

  • 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.
