Ask HN: What tools are you using for your site's documentation
I'm fascinated by the beautiful documentation from companies like Stripe (https://stripe.com/docs), Parse (https://www.parse.com/docs) and Filepicker (https://developers.filepicker.io/docs/web/). Beautiful in clarity and presentation. What CMS or other tools are you guys using to generate your documentation?
- saiko-chriskun 14y agoStripe's full api docs look like they were generated with something similar to http://rtomayko.github.com/rocco http://rtomayko.github.com/rocco
- anujkk 14y agoDo we really need a CMS or any other tool for good looking documentation? I don't think so. All that is needed to make good documentation is ability to write good content and present it in a simple manner. Tools doesn't matter. A look at source of filepicker.io documentation is enough to tell that it is using twitter bootstrap for its documentation. They have three static pages powered by twitter bootstrap, one each for web, ios and android documentation.
- jspiral 14y agoI like sphinx (e.g. readthedocs.org), if you need to generate documentation for your code
- benji-york 14y agoAgreed. I also like to test my documentation (http://packages.python.org/manuel/ http://packages.python.org/manuel/).
