In January, I wrote a technical evaluation of the development state of docStatic: what it did well, where it fell short of a commercial CCMS and where two specific gaps sat on the roadmap. Six months and over 200 commits later, it's time for an update.
docStatic is my second attempt at creating a docs solution that serves the needs of writers and developer-contributors. You can read about my first attempt in my previous blog. That was a loose collection of components, whereas docStatic is much more tightly integrated, although architecturally, it's not a standalone product in the traditional sense. Instead, it's a curated, opinionated integration of Docusaurus (static site generator) and TinaCMS (headless Git-backed CMS).
In January last year, I was up for a documentation manager role and I needed to come up with a solution that would serve the needs of writers and developer-contributors.
