SkyDocs

SkyDocs is an extremely lightweight command line piece of software that allows you to easily create static or web documentation sections for your projects.

Before anything else, it's worth pointing out that this application is mainly intended for users with average or above average skills since it does require one to use the command prompt for various actions.

On the upside, with a bit of patience and thanks to its thoroughly-put-together documentation section, you can get to grips with this app fairly easily, even if you have never used the Command Prompt before.

To get it up and running, you must first make sure that Java is present on your computer's system. Subsequently, run the app's executable file in a new CMD session, and type in "new"  followed by the "build" command, and optionally, use the "port" command to change the port number which is 4444 by default.

Once this is dealt with, head over to the app's main folder and run the "serve.bat" file to actually serve it your documentation project on localhost. It should be just a matter of seconds until you are provided with a live instance of your documentation project, via your computer's default web browser.

From this point onwards, you can manually start adding sections to your projects, as listed in the official YouTube tutorial.

Its lightweight and the fact that it's cross-platform are not the app's only advantages, mind you. It is worth knowing that it allows you to write multi-language documentation using MarkDown.

It's also static, therefore you can host it anywhere, it automatically minifies HTML, CSS and JS files and it also allows you to configure anything from the pages, menus and even the themes of your documentation files.

SkyDocs definitely provides a very interesting solution for building documentation sections. It surely isn't the most novice-accessible and all-round-convenient tool out there, but it's not that complicated either, and it has enough advantages to compensate for this drawback if one's committed enough to carefully understand how it works.
