FAQ

Why should I consider moving to “docs as code” from my current solution?

To own the means of production. The tools are open source and freely available. It means no longer being locked into a proprietary walled garden. It also means more work, so it isn’t for everyone. Just as the dev team owns the source code, writers, editors, and designers can own the docs from top to bottom resulting in improved quality and reduced response times.
