Library is a collaborative documentation site built by The New York Times that uses Google Docs as its content source and editing interface. It serves a browsable, searchable knowledge base from a shared Google Drive folder, with team pages, tags, and optional user authentication.

Use cases

• build an internal documentation site for my team
• use Google Docs as a wiki backend
• create a newsroom knowledge base
• self-host a documentation portal with collaborative editing
• organize team docs from Google Drive into a browsable site
• replace Confluence with a lightweight docs site

When to choose

• your team already writes and edits content in Google Docs
• you want non-technical staff to author documentation without learning Markdown or Git
• you need a simple, self-hosted internal knowledge base with team pages and search

When to avoid

• you want docs versioned and reviewed in Git alongside code
• you need offline or fully self-contained content storage
• your organization cannot use Google Workspace APIs or a Google Cloud service account
