Gitbook for No code documentation?

Hello people. I haven't posted for a while, but I've been hacking like crazy for about 9 months. Building a new creator economy tool on Webflow, Airtable, Twilio, SendGrid, PassKit, BannerBear + Zapier.

I've got to the stage where the product is pretty sophisticated, and I need to onboard new people to the project - hence need some clear documentation of the system and how the no code services work together.

I've done some documentation of flows in Miro to show how things hook up, where data lives and flows, and what triggers a Zap. It's a bit laborious, so wondering if there was a decent tool to document no code?

How do you document stuff?

THANKS TEAM!

    I use GitBook for the documentation for my product. The resulting documentation looks very clean and takes care of a lot of nice to have stuff for you automatically (linking of pages, subheader navigation, etc.)

    It's very easy to get the documentation going pretty quickly. If you've ever used Confluence or Notion, it feels pretty similar.

    My only complaint so far is that they just rolled out a new UI and it's got some pretty glaring performance issues while editing certain pages. I've got a page that's very heavy on tables and it slows my browser's performance to a crawl. I've gotten in contact with them though, and they've let me know they're looking into it.

    But overall I've had a very good experience with them and would recommend it!
