| 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. | For a Python developer or small team that wants a shared setup rather than relying on manually installed packages. Commit the dependency definition and lockfile, then sync the environment and run commands with uv. It does not isolate the operating system or untrusted code, or replace application compatibility tests. | 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. |
