Why Static and Outdated Docs Are Holding Your Product Back
Your documentation should move at the same speed as your code. For years, software teams have treated documentation like a static artifact. A PDF-like experience frozen in time. You write once, update when someone complains or the product manager remembers, and hope developers piece together what they need.

Build a Tiny Docs Site with Next.js in Under an Hour
A full-blown documentation platform is overkill when you're shipping something small. Docusaurus takes 15 minutes just to configure the sidebar. Mintlify wants you to sign up for an account. Sometimes you just want a few pages of markdown that look decent. We're going to scaffold a Next.js app, wire up a dead-simple "docs engine" backed by a TypeScript array, and render markdown pages. The whole thing takes about 45 minutes if you type slowly. Scaffold the Next.js app npx create-next-app@lat
