Feels like “good documentation” used to just mean clear, thorough guides, but now it’s less obvious. Tools like [Docusaurus](https://docusaurus.io) and [Mintlify](https://www.mintlify.com) (I love Mintlify) make it easy to get out clean, structured docs, but my question is what belongs in them. Some companies stick with text, while others mix in video or interactive walkthroughs. For me, bad or missing docs are a huge turn-off. I’ll skim docs for simple tasks, but as soon as something gets even slightly complex, I personally would like to see the setup in action. How are you guys balancing clarity and engagement while keeping users up to date? I’ve been exploring this while building [Demomatic](https://demomatic.tech), less as a docs tool, more as a way to generate consistent walkthrough-style demos that can integrate into documentation sites. It’s about making it easier to show rather than just explain and helping them quickly understand new features.
