Projects with Great Documentation

I'm looking to compile a list of projects with great documentation so as to provide examples to contributors and maintainers for Hacktoberfest.

Some projects with great documentation that come to mind are React and Vue.

What's a project that you know of that has great documentation?

I think Vue is the best I have come across, I started reading it like a book. This was years ago... But also I really enjoy using Material-UI and part of that is because their docs are good.

great inspirational tech docs sites listed here!

if you're looking for an example of a smaller open-source project: pypyr

the docs are generated with the awesome Hugo static site generator, and the theme itself is also open-source, so if you like, you can make your own.

warning: I might be a bit predisposed to like this one, because I made it 😆

thank you so much! 🙌

I tried hard to make something functional but also have it look a bit more designed (without going overboard).

So the nod from the cool alligator makes it all worth it 😎

The docs of pg-promise are very detailed. I also like json-server because it's easy to follow.

@dayhaysoos ' project use-shopping-cart has a Q&A type approach which is very helpful.
