    Perfect online-wiki tool. Support all features that I can only wish as extensions.

    Clunky documentation tool, supports the very old original markdown syntax not CommonMark (best) or GFM (okish). So writting doc is a nightmare as you don't have autolink without a plugin, you need to have exactly 4 spaces for lists (2 doesn't work) no table support, etc.

    Also the dependencies are often breaking while installing, and the maintainer is stuborn and doesn't want any new features.

    I would advice a tool I wrote, NextBook for you, literally one-click deployment. http://next-book.vercel.app/

    I like mkdocs because its so easy to set up. However, if you're planning to use versioning — you'll have quite a bit of trouble as there is no native support for it and the extensions available are still in the 'workaround' state
