Starlight is a documentation platform based on the Astro. It similar to Docusaurus, but you aren't forced to use React.
I run a technical documentation business specializing in writing and editing documentation. I made this series to share my insights and help projects craft impactful documentation.
What's The Criteria?
3- Excellent
2 - OK
1 - Poor
Purposeful: Does the QuickStart explain what problem it's trying to solve? Who is the intended audience?
UX Experience: How seamless is the experience? Must the user create an account to get through the Quickstart? Does the Quickstart elicit a sense of joy and achievement?
Accurate: Are the instructions correct? Are they complete?
The Results
Starlight's user experience game is strong. The cli was colorful and delightful to use. I didn't have to install another framework, and when I was finished running the script, I had a Hello World project up and running.
That being said, I'm not sure what Starlight is adding in the documentation framework world that doesn't already exist. The landing page lists a ton of features, but it fails to explain why I should give it a try.
