Looks like a simpler solution that a lot of other roll-your-own solutions. What is the workflow like for maintaining docs? I find that to be one of the major pain points in writing documentation and if the process isn't great, docs get stale fast.

Hello Dane!
I completely agree with you, and that's why we want to keep everything simple without introducing new concepts.
Let's start from what we have right now. Since the docs are published from a CLI, you keep all of your docs in a folder and it can be nested folders too.
The order of topics in the sidebar is decided from the order of files in your folder. This approach gives you a visual clarity of the tree and to maintain the order easily, we recommend prefixing the file names with numbers.
Our docs are open source, so you can just take a look at them https://github.com/dimerapp/docs... too.
Going forward, with our cloud editor, we will follow the same approach and show you the docs as a list of files in a folder. Reference screenshot
If you have any other questions or suggestion, please feel free to share them. We are starting out and always happy to discover different workflows other people have in place.
Dimer is everything you'd expect when a developer and a designer join forces to built a docs generator. It is easy to use, simple to maintain and the output is beautiful. Couldn't recommend highly enough!
Pros:
Design and readability focused, super simple to maintain
We have discontinued Dimer. So probably the domain you have visited is owned by someone else. There is no way to mark the project as abandoned on PH, otherwise would have done so.
