Ask HN: What are the best documented developper tools?
My company is in the process of writing developer facing documentation and I am trying to make a list of the best examples to take inspiration from.
- kanche 11y agoIf you are talking about company's internal developer facing documentations, they are not going to be on internet. Some of the best product documentations there are: https://stripe.com/docs/api https://stripe.com/docs/api http://www.twilio.com/docs http://www.twilio.com/docs https://docs.djangoproject.com https://docs.djangoproject.com https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/ http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/ https://parse.com/docs/ios/guide https://parse.com/docs/ios/guide
- hadri 11y agoThat's exactly the kind of list I was looking for. Thank you for understanding despite the lack of explanation.
- acrooks 11y agohttps://auth0.com/ https://auth0.com/ provides some pretty incredible documentation (they also provide a great product; we use it to support authentication for our suite of corporate/enterprise-facing apps)
- hadri 11y agoThe filtering options to get to the version of the doc you need are wonderful. Thanks!

- hadri 11y agoIt's unusually wordy and I think it is great. I can't count how many times I scratched my head trying to figure out what some API calls were meant for and how they were meant to be used.
- navaneethkn 11y agoI am very impressed by the way SQLite maintains it's documentation. http://sqlite.org/docs.html http://sqlite.org/docs.html
- galfarragem 11y agoI like meteor docs navigation and simplicity: http://docs.meteor.com/ http://docs.meteor.com/ To check how they do it (it's a Meteor app): https://github.com/meteor/meteor/tree/devel/docs https://github.com/meteor/meteor/tree/devel/docs
- karmy 11y agoSome of the docs I've had to deal with lately, that I've found very useful and easy to navigate: https://apidocs.mailchimp.com https://apidocs.mailchimp.com https://dashboard.batch.com/doc https://dashboard.batch.com/doc [Requires Login] (Great product for marketing push notifications, by the way) Also Apple has a great doc site. Very verbose, but thorough: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIImage_Class/ https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/...
