@copypastaa Gitbook.io & Readme.com are basically a service, you don't host them yourself. Docxy is self hosted. It builds a React static bundle from your documentation that can be hosted anywhere, including static hosts like GitHub Pages and GitLab Pages.
Trying it out. It immediately builds. It looks great (I would still recommend a dark/light mode toggle than deciding it just on OS settings). What I think would be a great benefit of using React is "customizable" or "dynamic" documentation. For example at https://auth0.com/ you can log in and it will auto-fill in your API keys, etc. I've never seen anything that does something like that out of the box. However, it will require to go beyond static. I understand every documentation generator developer would consider it out of scope...
Was looking for a product like this for so long! Looking great.
Only thing to mention I found some padding issues on Safari (iOS & MacOS) – the site looks pretty broken within these browsers. Not happening on other ones (Chrome). Would be great if you can have a look and fix these bugs.
Honestly the only thing stopping me from using it right now. :)
