Ask HN: SaaS companies, what do you use for user documentation?
Do you use an existing solution or have you created your own?
How do you like the solutions you have tried?
How do you like the solutions you have tried?
You could use something like GitHub markdown/GitHub pages. You could use something like Markdown and a custom script like I do for my website (source code in my GitHub). There are solutions like Sphinx (as used by Python) or Jekyll for building a static docs site. You could also use Hugo static site generator etc. etc. - there are many tools out there. These are simple solutions but it ranges up to heavy weight tools like DITA/DocBook (not that I am recommending those in this case).
Also take a look at readthedocs.org.
If you are documenting a SaaS REST API Swagger has become something of a standard.
