Notes

Abstract

Documentation is the backbone of successful projects, yet many tools fall short in balancing ease of use, collaboration, and flexibility. https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs is an open source, block-based editor designed to solve these challenges. Built by the French and German govs, it offers a snappy editing experience, real-time collaboration, fine-grained access control, and powerful features like sub-docs and a headless CMS API. This talk will demonstrate why Docs is the ideal tool for teams looking to create, manage, and scale their documentation effortlessly.
