Hi DEV people 👋
I recently did a quick research of documentation tools and was surprised to find out that the majority of tools are static site generators like Docusaurus.
I was looking for something less techy, so that our clients can easily contribute to documentation of their projects themselves (as well as developers and management team).
📝 What are you using for documentation (especially user documentation) in your projects or in your organisation?
My top-3 list so far:
- ReadMe.io - used to be free for private documentation hubs, but it's not the case any more. Great UX for developers and non-technical people. Expensive.
- BookStack - open source (Laravel + MySQL) self-hosted documentation hub that looks powerful yet simple. UX is not as exciting as Gitbook or Readme.io, but is good enough.
- Archbee - the cheapest SaaS option I found, looks promising.
Thank you for sharing!

For all of our projects we use sourcespy.com/
That helps us to reflect on actual state of the code and figure out all the logic in the source code which replaces the majority of the documentation.
