Building DevPortals.tech: From Idea to Live Site
As a senior technical writer who’s spent years managing enterprise documentation platforms, I’ve seen the pain points that drive teams to migrate from proprietary solutions to open-source alternatives.
This site chronicles that journey and provides practical guidance for teams making similar transitions.
Why Astro Starlight?
Section titled “Why Astro Starlight?”After evaluating multiple documentation frameworks, Starlight stood out for several reasons:
- Performance: Static site generation with minimal JavaScript
- Developer Experience: Excellent TypeScript support and hot reload
- Flexibility: Easy to extend and customize
- Modern: Built for the current web ecosystem
What’s Next?
Section titled “What’s Next?”I’m building additional demos in Next.js and Docusaurus to provide comprehensive framework comparisons for teams evaluating their options.
Stay tuned for more practical migration strategies and platform evaluations!
