Ask HN: Stripe like API documentation tool?
I am looking for a tool that generates API documentation like Stripe's but
- semi-automated (maybe generate from OpenAPI spec?)
- Not Swagger
Or please share any API documentation tools you use that is opensource and NOT Swagger.
Stripe has Markdoc[0] but it doesn't seem to be automated in any way.

I too am inspired by Stripe's API documentation. Specifically, I like that it:
1. shows the API reference alongside the requests and responses
2. gives code examples of how to use the client libraries (e.g. python, node.js, go, java)
3. is one, continuously scrolling page
