    ✍ It has never been so easy to document your things!

  • It’s Docz. Docz is a popular state-of-the-art open-source tool that allows anyone to create clean and highly customizable custom software documentation sites with fairly minimal effort. Think of it as using Canva to create cool posters. It has got 21.7k stars on GitHub which is a huge thing in software development. Here are some of the features and cool things about Docz:

  • expo

    An open-source framework for making universal native apps with React. Expo runs on Android, iOS, and the web.

  • Is it difficult to super cool and professional docs like the following ones? If you want to do it manually by implementing all the fancy UI components, yes, of course. Have you checked out Expo’s (a toolchain built on top of React Native) documentation? They don’t just write a bunch of texts describing how to use their components, rather they’ve got editable codes for components, which means the users are able to edit the displayed code snippet (e.g. “color = black” to “color = yellow”) right on the site and the changes will be immediately visible on screen. With this, users are able to grasp the behavior of a component in an interactive way, which is the ideal way to learn for a developer. You can also check out Flutter and Material UI for inspiration on creating better documentation.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
