24 alternatives to Dokly
Hey HN, I'm a solo dev and I built Dokly because I couldn't justify paying $300/month for documentation hosting. What it is: A hosted platform where you write docs in MDX, hit publish, and get a static documentation site with custom domain, full-text search, and analytics. The technical bits: Single Next.js 15 app serves marketing site, dashboard, and all customer doc sites via middleware-based domain routing Supabase for auth/db/storage, Stripe for billing Static site generation means sub-100ms page loads Shiki for syntax highlighting (100+ languages) Fuse.js for client-side…

Peony 0.5▲431Hey HN, founder of Peony here. Most founders use DocSend to share investment or sales docs and have to pay $65 to $300 a month to get the security and analytics features. It pains me to see startups getting ripped off when the availability of technologies such as Clickhouse makes real time analytics almost a trivial feature to implement in 2024. We think it's time to end the carnage and democratize the technology. We set ourselves a high bar: we don't want to build another DocSend - we want it to be a far more superior product and also 10x cheaper. After a couple of months of work, I'm proud…

I'm Hemang, co-founder of Clidey. While building Docucod – our platform for generating and maintaining technical documentation – we needed a simple, fast, and flexible way to host the docs. We started with Next.js + Vercel, but it felt like overkill. SSR wasn’t needed, and we ran into vague webhook errors and deployment issues. It felt like too much complexity for a static documentation site. So we built Dory – a minimal static site generator optimized for technical documentation. It's built with Preact, Vite, Tailwind, FontAwesome, Mermaid, and Typescript. What makes Dory work for us: •…

doXmind▲108Hi HN, I’m Steve, co-founder of doXmind. We built doXmind for people who want docs and AI, but not all of Notion. Notion is powerful, but if your main use case is writing, collaboration, and AI help inside documents, it can feel like more than you actually need. You end up inside a much bigger workspace of databases, templates, and project management features, when sometimes all you really want is a clean doc editor with strong AI built in. So we took a different approach. In doXmind, AI works directly in the document instead of living in a sidebar chat. It reads the structure of what you’re…

Hey we are launching Docs.dev, a full feature docs product that lets you host your developer docs on Cloudflare in a couple minutes. Why this exists: We don’t think every early stage startup should need to pay $300-$500 a month for beautiful docs, in fact every startup should just have beautiful human and agent ready docs ready to go. Additionally the workflow for docs is a lot different now in that Claude Code or Codex will generate 60-80% of the code, so why not have them update your docs as well. After they generate the docs, the missing piece is there will be some sentences, sections,…

Mintlify Pro costs 250 USD per month. We wanted something similar (AI assistant and nice UI), but fully customizable and cheap. So we built GibsonAI docs in 1 day for about 50 USD. How we did it: Used Lovable for UI components + rendering MDX beautifully (Markdown stored in GitHub). Built an AI Agent for docs using Agno + Memori → personalized Q&A and “smart educator.” Stored embeddings in LanceDB and metadata in our SQL DB. Bonus: We can share our reusable design templates and source code so you can deploy on Vercel (or anywhere) and skip Lovable costs. Would love feedback on what features…

Hi HN, I'm Mohammed, a technical founder who loves shipping and giving back to the community. I'm open-sourcing the full-stack engine that powers my B2B product, apflow.co. What it is: A production B2B starter with a Go backend and Next.js frontend. Both are fully Dockerized with separate containers. No Vercel. No Supabase. Deploy the whole thing on a $6 VPS, or split frontend and backend across different providers. You own the infrastructure. The problem I was solving: Every SaaS starter I evaluated had the same issue: they locked me into someone else's platform. Vercel for hosting.…

Indie Kit provides you with the boilerplate code you need to launch, FASTER THAN EVER.

Hey HN, I'm a solopreneur and I ship apps like a madman. 16 startups in the last 2 years. I realized I was doing the same thing over and over: set up DNS records, connect DB, listen to Stripe webhooks... So I built ShipFast for 2 reasons: 1. Save time and focus on what matters: building a business 2. Avoid headaches like emails ending in spam or waiting 3 days for Google to approve I hope this boilerplate will be as helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback pls Marc
