Docsify
Renders a docs site from markdown files on the fly — no build step.
Docsify generates a documentation website directly from markdown files with no build step: a tiny index.html loads the docsify script, which fetches and renders your .md files in the browser on demand.
Because nothing is pre-compiled, updating docs is just editing markdown and pushing. It ships with full-text search, theming, and plugins, and pairs naturally with GitHub Pages for free hosting.
