Free Open-Source Documentation Creator Tool

Hey folks!!

Welcome to the new blog

I was building a product, buildsaas.dev and writing documentation for it. I tried to find alternatives on the internet, find Fumadocs, Docusaurus and Mintlify.

But they have a loophole, each of them not serving the way I want it. I am required to create a simple Nextjs React repository that helps me to create documentation for any SAAS product in future.

This repository should also help with the following features, as defined

  1. Easy to download, install the repository, and packages
  2. Markdown support and static content rendering for SEO
  3. AI chatbot and language support integration
  4. Dark/light theme
  5. Latest tech stack
  6. Works well with AI code editors
  7. One-click deploy on Github
  8. Responsive webpage with an editor that renders all UI types of components

Most of the tools I've found are either not free or do not provide a code repository

That is why I created this documentation creator website; it's free and open-source.

All instructions on installations are in the repository; no third-party APIs are needed, only frontend packages

How to use

  • Clone the repository
  • Edit the markdown content .md files or add new ones
  • Edit the sidebar if adding a new route, page, or content
  • Push to Github
  • Deploy to vercel

It's literally that simple, FREE and easy to customise.
