Whiteboard is a Node.js-based API documentation generator forked from Slate, letting you write docs in Markdown and render them as a beautiful static site. It removes Slate's Ruby dependency and can generate docs programmatically via its module API.

Use cases

• generate api documentation from markdown
• slate alternative without ruby
• publish static api docs site
• build docs in ci pipeline
• convert existing slate docs to nodejs tooling

When to choose

• you want Slate-style API docs but prefer Node.js over Ruby
• you need to generate documentation programmatically in a build process
• you already have Slate-compatible Markdown docs

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained tooling with recent updates
• you want docs generated from code annotations rather than hand-written Markdown
• you need features beyond what Slate/Hexo provide
