| Best use | For developers and small teams that want architecture and data-flow diagrams close to the repository and reviewable as text. Use it when relationships matter more than pixel-perfect placement; not for free-form marketing design or exact manual positioning. | Best for a developer or small team maintaining a product or library guide and comfortable with files and Git. It organizes scattered instructions into pages with clear locale and version choices. It does not write or translate your content, and may be excessive for a single page or a team needing direct collaborative editing. | Best for an individual developer or small team that wants self-hosted website, API, DNS, and certificate checks with a status page and threshold-based alerts. It combines active checks and simple history in one service. It does not replace resource monitoring, logs, or distributed tracing. |
