Diátaxis

A systematic framework for technical documentation authoring.

This is a very short post. I’m just posting a link to Diátaxis to raise awareness of the framework. Diátaxis is a framework that explains what kinds of documentation a project needs and more importantly what purpose it should fulfill. A tutorial satisfies a different use-case as a technical documentation of your API for example. You can find further information here as well.

Why am I doing this? Well, because first I really like the framework and I think it completes what I wrote recently about my documentation attempts with sphinx. Secondly, writing a short blog post is an easy way for me not to forget where the description of the framework is located (browser bookmarks don’t work for me).
