Reviewer scorecard
“React-based, versioning, and i18n built in. The most flexible open-source documentation framework.”
“The 'copy into your codebase' approach is genius. Full ownership, full customization, no version dependency hell.”
“Free, open source, and battle-tested by thousands of projects. The default choice for OSS documentation.”
“Solved the component library problem by not being a library. The most practical approach to UI components.”
“Functional but not beautiful by default. Mintlify produces better-looking docs with less effort.”
“Beautiful defaults that look professional immediately. The theming system makes brand customization straightforward.”
