fastdocs

Automatically generated Docsify flavored documentation sites for your markdown files! We are a README-as-a-Service project, spin up beautiful versions of your documentation in seconds! And the best part? We are completely free and open-source!

Getting Started

To render your docs all you have to do is go to /:user/:repo/ thats it! Currently, fastdocs only supports GitHub.

?> :user should be replaced with your GitHub username

?> :repo should be replaced with the name of the GitHub repository

We automatically compile it with docsify and serve it at /docs/:user/:repo/.

!> Make sure you ALWAYS go to /:user/:repo and not /docs/:user/:repo, the /docs/ endpoint will not be available 24x7 due to hosting, but /:user/:repo always will be. Although we don't have an ETA, we are working on fixing this issue.

Example:

To render documentation from https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio, where the :user is cheeriojs and :repo is cheerio you can simply go to https://fastdocs.io/cheeriojs/cheerio to view the rendered documentation!

Configuration

To add a description for SEO purposes, or to add plugins to your documentation, you need to create a .fastdocs.json file in the root of your repo.
