# Professional docs for your open source project, completely free

Your project deserves documentation as good as any funded startup. Docsio's free tier gives OSS projects a full, hosted documentation site, generated by AI, published instantly.

## The Problem

### Why OSS docs are almost always lacking

Building the thing is hard enough. Documenting it well is a whole second job, and most maintainers simply don't have the time or tools.

### Docs are always an afterthought

You've built something great, but documenting it properly feels like a second project on top of the first. It keeps getting pushed down the to-do list.

### Contributors struggle without clear guides

Contributors want to help but don't know where to start. A missing or incomplete contribution guide means friction, abandoned PRs, and a smaller community.

### A README isn't enough anymore

Your README is a starting point, not a documentation site. Users expect searchable, navigable docs, not a single long Markdown file.

### Good doc tools cost money you don't have

Open source projects run on nights and weekends. Most dedicated documentation platforms start at $50–100/month, not a reasonable ask for a side project.

## The Solution

Paste your project URL. Get a professional docs site. Publish it free. That's it.
