CodeX Docs

Writing docs should feel like editing a modern document, not wrangling Markdown files - CodeX Docs delivers that on Editor.js, the block-styled editor its CodeX team builds and thousands of products use. Content is composed from clean blocks (headings, lists, code, images, embeds) with a UI that reads well on both desktop and mobile, and pages render statically with human-readable, SEO-friendly URLs. Structure is free-form: pages nest to any depth, so a flat FAQ and a deep product manual coexist in one instance, and the UI tunes to fit - collapse sections, hide the sidebar. The operational footprint is deliberately tiny. No database is required: the default driver persists to a local folder, with MongoDB available when you want it, and the whole app configures through one YAML file (overridable with APP_CONFIG_ environment variables) covering title, start page, auth password, and JWT secret. Editing mode sits behind password authentication. Thoughtful extras are wired in: readers can report misprints straight to your Telegram or Slack, Hawk error tracking catches frontend and backend exceptions, and Yandex Metrica analytics is a one-line config. A ready-made Helm chart covers Kubernetes. Written in TypeScript.
