If you want an idea: A SaaS to host product guides with good i18n.
- Gitbook.io doesn't support i18n well. Not SEO friendly and not language detector.
- Readme.io is too expensive for just product docs.
- Hosting with NextJS etc.. is a pain if you need to support i18n and edit content using markdown.
- stuartjohnson12 4y agoMintlify are probably the guys who will close on this one first. Great team, moving very fast.
- marcopicentini 4y agoThey do not support multi language.
- achempion 4y agodocument360 support i18n
- hoofhearted 4y agoI’m working on something now that solves just this. I had to build out a Next app last year with a seamless looking blog and docs site. I struggled to find real solutions, so I ended up getting in touch with Marco from Plausible to get some advice. He helped me to figure out their stack, and I replicated it to my project. I released a dope next app with a markdown powered blog and docs site that looked amazing. I’m working on releasing a free cli tool for frontend devs based off this work. I’d love some feedback and watches on GitHub if anyone is interested. Link is in my bio. SHOW HN and IH coming soon :)
- marcopicentini 4y agoPlease let me know if you have a beta or link so we can test it as soon is live.
- hoofhearted 4y agoHey Marco, check out the MVP that I launched! Could I get some feedback?
- marcopicentini 4y agoI would created as a Saas with: - multi language. Default translated using deepL and then a translator can check and review using a WYSIWYG editor. - alternative html SEO tag for Google. - Tailwind syntax template
- rambambram 4y agoFor your interest, I clicked through to your website from Github and it gave me a 'site not secure' prompt from my browser (desktop Firefox).
- hoofhearted 4y agoHow about now? Is it still saying it’s not secure?
- hoofhearted 4y agoThank you for checking it out! Much appreciated. Yeah, I have a few hypothesis that I am going to prove using the Elegant tool that I’m working on. The first hypothesis is that I’m going to use Elegant itself to scaffold out the documentation. So when the domain is live, Elegant will be ready for beta testing. I hope to get some content up on the domain this week! Thanks for pointing this out.

- marcopicentini 4y agoIt's been 2 years that I suggest to implement i18n. Or at least let add a JS snipped to use WeglotJS
