Good fit for Engineering docs, OSS project sites, API references — anywhere docs-as-code is the workflow.
Weak at Non-developer editors find Markdown-in-git unfriendly; no WYSIWYG admin UI.
In a terminal? npx -y github:SolvoHQ/os-alt-cli gitbook prints
the GitBook comparison table including Docusaurus.

Replaces these SaaS
- GitBook · Documentation hosting / knowledge base
Run `npx create-docusaurus@latest my-docs classic`. GitBook export → git → drop the .md files into `docs/` — Docusaurus picks them up. Images live alongside; rewrite GitBook-specific block syntax (hints, tabs) to Docusaurus's MDX equivalents. Docs are git-versioned; every change is a PR.
