In their own words
DocPlatform
DocPlatform is a git-native documentation platform offered as self-hosted software or a managed cloud service. Its two-way sync turns web edits into git commits and brings repository pushes into the interface. The Tiptap-based WYSIWYG editor writes Markdown and supports tables, code blocks, image embeds, and callouts. Teams can publish sites with themes, versioning, and SEO optimization, while built-in FTS5 provides full-text search without an external search service. Git sync works with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or any git remote. A built-in MCP server connects with clients including Claude, Cursor, and VS Code over local stdio or cloud HTTPS. The self-hosted Community Edition is free and includes unlimited editors, workspaces, and pages; the cloud Free plan allows one workspace, three editors, and 50 published pages. Cloud Team costs $29 a month and includes three workspaces, 15 editors, and 150 pages per workspace. Business is listed at $79 a month as coming soon.
Typemill
Typemill is a lightweight, self-hosted flat-file CMS for creating product documentation, software manuals, user guides, websites, and eBooks from Markdown. It provides both a WYSIWYG-style editor with drag-and-drop blocks and a raw Markdown editor. Content can be arranged in hierarchical navigation, divided into separate projects, and published in multiple languages. Its eBook plugin can generate PDFs and EPUBs, while the same content can also be published as a website. Typemill stores content in Markdown files and configuration in YAML, without requiring a database. Roles include Administrator, Editor, Author, and Member, and access can be restricted to a whole site or individual pages. Plugins and themes extend it; the Kixote connector works with OpenAI-compatible services and Anthropic’s Claude API, including ChatGPT, Claude, Ollama, and LM Studio. The maker says installation requires Apache or Nginx and PHP 8.1 or higher. Community is free; Maker costs $22 a year, billed 22 € + VAT/Year, for one instance and production domain.
