Best way to manage a documentation site
Best way to manage a documentation site in 2026 - 2027
Managing and writing documentation for whatever you're building is just as important as building the product itself.
For documentation, developers generally gravitate towards solutions like Astro Starlight, Hugo, VitePress, and Eleventy. And when it comes to writing the actual content, tools like Obsidian are often the go to choices.
But here's something I've been thinking about:
We increasingly rely on AI copilots to help us write, debug, and ship code. So why not bring that same experience to documentation?
Why should writing and maintaining docs still feel like a completely separate, manual workflow?
Imagine having a copilot that aids you with small fixes and typos, helps you write and refine content, keeps things organised, and makes maintaining docs as smooth as developing the product itself.
Documentation deserves the same developer experience we have come to expect from programming.
docsy or 11ty are go to option for majority of the people when it comes to writing documentation.
And all those uses front matter schema. So, why not using the same tool you love writing your blogs in.
