HOW TO MANAGE TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION (not using confluence)

In this video I talk about managing documentation and what alternatives to the standard tools like Confluence I have used. Tools like GitBook www.gitbook.com/ (now a commercial product) have been a better fit for the engineering workflows in companies I worked for. I am recently experimenting with Docusaurus docusaurus.io/ that also seems very powerful and has the ability (via extensions) to generate docs in pdf format.

Is there any gui based documentation tools which are opensource which i can install on pc ?
Docusaurus and mkdocs are good, but seems like a huge amount of work to write the actual documentation because of markdown language.

[@OutOfDevOps]

You can use a visual markdown editor. I use notion.so, it gives you the option to extract in markdown and can be installed as a standalone application on your PC. There are many alternatives another one is obsidian. A web alternative is hashnode.com/ you can use the web editor and you can copy the markdown once you are done.

How you handle non-technical documentation? For example, your marketing people. In my experience, they easily get scared when they should open a text editor, let alone IDE like VSCode, to edit markdown docs. So I'd like to have a good wysiwig editor for pages. Do you have something for that ?

[@OutOfDevOps]

The editor I am currently in love with for note taking, and non-technical documentation is notion (notion.so).
