A development document refers to a document that is created, reviewed, and implemented by development teams in the software industry. These documents include proposals, user requirements, test and review reports, and self-reflective documents that analyze the development process.

This platform is a must-have for all levels: juniors, mids, seniors. Frontend devs, backend engineers, full-stack heroes, mobile developers, DevOps folks, and data engineers — you all need this.

The best alternatives to DevDocs are Dash, Greenboard, and Slate.

Common best practices for creating developer documentation are: Follow a standard template with a proper table of contents, references, links, pictures, use cases, and a summary. Follow a writing style: that is consistent across the documentation. A short, concise, easy-to-understand style is required.
