Telegram and Dexy: The best way to publish your API documentation

Telegram is the best way to publish a web site. The content for Telegram sites can be hosted in GitHub, Git, and Dropbox. Thus, the management of the content and the versioning and access control and all the other stuff that most content management systems focus on is done by the best tools available today: Git for complex stuff and Dropbox for simple stuff. Telegram pushes the site by applying Hoisted to the contents of the repository resulting in a coherent, beautiful web site. Put another way, put Word, Markdown, HTML, Pages into Git/Dropbox and see the resulting site on Telegram or at your own domain.

Dexy is the most powerful, comprehensive documentation authoring system in the known universe. Dexy allows you to write documentation, compile example code, run example code, capture the output of the example code (as text, HTML, or a GIF snapshot of what the browser would display) and weave the output into your documentation.

As of today, Telegram automatically detects Dexy repositories and runs Dexy. Simple as pointing Telegram to a Git repo with a Dexy project in it and you get a brand-spanking shiny web site out the other side.

Telegram + Dexy = Continuous Documentation

Telegram and Dexy do for documentation what Heroku does for apps. Check in and the new stuff is live.

What does this mean:

Yes, Telegram and Dexy let you focus on your business, save money, and make your users happier. Yay!
