I've tried a lot of similar solutions and I definitely feel like there's a lot of room for something like this. I have been trying VuePress recently and this seems prettier and snappier. For me to use it I would probably need most of: * more polish. The next/previous buttons didn't work for me (mobile Brave) and the first time I loaded it I saw a flash of "project not found" or similar before the content loaded in. * Syntax highlighting * Examples of what screenshots look like * Open source with good deployment docs Hope you keep at it! From what I've seen the biggest killer of projects like this is that the creator gets bored with them. I'm on a mission in 2021 to find or build the perfect docs experience (for Ritza [0]) and this looks like it could have the potential to be close. [0] https://ritza.co https://ritza.co

>> From what I've seen the biggest killer of projects like this is that the creator gets bored with them. Yes, exactly! I think you need to have a sincere interest in your product to keep working on it. At least this is what I feel about my own projects. If I do something that has a (hidden, often even to myself) motivation to make money or promote my other products, I tend to quickly abandon it. On the other hand if I work on something that I like, I keep doing it for years without making any money at all. I run a small site that lists projects made by indie devs who share their revenue and I see that the ones who succeed have been working on their products often for years. And they like their products. It's interesting for them. Otherwise they couldn't have done this for a long periods of time without a big revenue. This big revenue usually comes later. And you can feel it from the product too if the maker has put their soul into it.
