I'm trying out GitBook for documentation, it looks nice
🇳🇱
@Gargron Yea I thought it looked nice. The lack of open-source was a killer for me though. I cant use services that people need to pay to use on an opensource project :(
@freemo It looks free to me...
@freemo Oh, I see what you mean. Hmm
@Gargron Yea :( they do have a free tier but thats only for 2 users. Any more than that youd have to pay.
I dont mind paying for myself but if i required that of my devs on any of my OSS projects I would lose a lot of devs.
@freemo But you'd be paying for them though, not them
It looks like they have a free for open-source and non-profits pricing tier, in addition to the free-basic tier:
@rusty @freemo Look how good it looks tho (WIP)

@Gargron
Here is the documentation for one of my OSS projects (Ferma). It is generated directly from *.md (markdown) files that sit along side the code.
You can see the repo here (it is generated from the docs folder): https://github.com/Syncleus/Ferma
I used software called mkdocs, fully open-source. Not as nice as gitbook really but I find it gives a pretty clean looking template.
By the way if you like it and want to adopt the look and tech your welcome to steal my stylizations. I wrote it myself but its open source so feel free to steal.
