It's pretty much as advertised: a really simple documentation template built with 11ty [1] and Tailwind.
I've been releasing a few projects in the past year: Basecoat [2], Pages CMS [3], and lately /dev/push [4]. Each one of them needed its own documentation.
Sure, I could have used stuff like Mintlify or Docusaurus. But I really wanted something fast, modern, simple, and good-looking. And if possible: no React.
Since it's using Basecoat, you get a shadcn/ui compatible design system, so pretty easy to style.
I'll be rolling it out to all my projects, but maybe some of you find it useful.
This hits a really nice sweet spot. I like the focus on vanilla HTML/CSS with 11ty instead of pulling in a full React stack just for docs. The shadcn-style design system plus LLM-friendly exports are thoughtful touches and the nothing to sell positioning is refreshing. Feels like a great option for teams that want docs without framework overhead.
Appreciated. That's pretty much what I was going for.
The only thing I think is missing is a proper full text search which I'll add later on this week using lunr.js [1]. I just didn't have the time to get it done for this release.
