Question about the Particle doc platform

Developer Tools
1

Hey,

Not sure if this question belongs here or not.

I am curious about how the Particle doc is built. I know discourse is being used for the forum but was wondering if a library was being used for documentation. I am putting together an official doc for my project and like how easy and clear the docs are for Particle products.

In the event the doc platform is proprietary, if anyone has any suggestions for similar style documentation libraries, I’d love to check them out.

Example doc: https://docs.particle.io/reference/device-os/firmware/boron/#particle-connect-

Regards,

Bruno

The platform is open-source, basically built on Metalsmith that takes Markdown as the source and generates mostly static HTML assets.

That repository contains both the docs platform itself as well as the content (in src and assets).
