The gold standard for your API references and product guides
Create and scale developer docs and API references that grow with your code. Designed for teams needing full control and customization without the hassle. Headless by default, with MDX-powered editing, AI-driven search, and OpenAPI-based one-click playgrounds.
Hey PH community - so excited to be back with my team at Hashnode for another hunt after a long time. Missed you all! 👀
We’re thrilled to share Hashnode’s journey, from helping developers and companies create blogs to now powering their product and API docs. This was a natural next step for us and one of the most requested features by our community.
Docs for Hashnode is everything we wished current documentation tools would solve:
- Unlimited UI customization
- Build and use custom components
- No build time
- Team collaboration on docs—not just for developers
- An intuitive writing experience like Notion and Google Docs
Over the years, we’ve tried many tools at Hashnode. Readme felt restrictive in UI, and Docusaurus was a hassle to maintain and deploy.
We think our Documentation tool is the one-stop solution for developers and teams of all sizes. Start with the hosted version, and as your company scales, switch to headless mode for full UI customization.
Here are a few things I personally love about this tool:
1. Host multiple guides and API references in one project.
2. One-click API reference playground generation from OpenAPI spec.
3. Go headless and tweak the Next.js + TailwindCSS project to suit your team’s needs.
4. Rich and familiar MDX visual editor.
5. A powerful “Ask AI” search for docs.
We can’t wait to see what you do with our new Docs product. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback!
