Evaluating Sanity for documentation sites and comparing alternatives

Last updated: Sep 3, 2024
Hello everyone! Would Sanity be a good choice for a documentation site? Are there any good examples of documentation sites built with Sanity in the wild?

Even though you definitely can use Sanity for it, there better solutions for documentation IMHO.Nextra, Docusaurus, etc

https://linear.app/docs uses it to great effect (and us too)

the main trade-off is that direct community contributions is a bit harder to do

having docs actually queryable and structured is awesome

their docs look great. Thanks! I’ll give it a try

I cant provide an example, but i can say if i was going to do a documentation site, I would likely use sanity. I would build out my docs in a .md file so i could host them on github as well and then use that markdown in the body, or maybe even just reference the actual file and self host that, I would use a good MDX rendering pluging in do that. Its the same concept I am going to build my little daily coding challenge website with. I will probably record a tutorial on that when I do
