  • 7MS #657: Writing Rad Security Documentation with Retype
    Jan 10 2025

    Hello friends! Today we’re talking about a neat and quick-to-setup documentation service called Retype. In a nutshell, you can get Retype installed on GitHub pages in about 5 minutes and be writing beautiful markdown pages (with built-in search) immediately. I still absolutely love Docusaurus, but I think Retype definitely gives it a run for its money.
