Just curious what everyone uses for documentation and if it's fragmented.

Currently, the startup I work for has documentation in Google Drive, Confluence, Zendesk, and Slack. It's a mess.

For documenting stuff, we have a self-hosted DokuWiki instance (low maintenance) on a cheap VPS. Backups are done every night.

We've been using mkdocs material for ages and it's been absolutely awesome: https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/
