has anyone out there used Library, NYT's app created for documentation sites that basically turns a folder of Google Docs into a wiki?

github.com/nytimes/library

I'm looking at frameworksto make a relatively lightweight website for a team project where the team is largely not developers. I don't love the dependence on Google but do like meeting non-technical users where they're at.

Interesting. Google Docs are approachable by more people than wikis or markdown.

I will have to look into this.

@ingrid it kills me, too, to see the NYT investing in Google-as-infrastructure. There are alternatives using Apple Notes with [montaigne.io](https://montaigne.io/) or Dropbox with [Skrivr](https://skrivr.com/). Or maybe [StackEdit](https://stackedit.io/) or Obsidian Publish (or DIY via Github Pages) but that starts pushing the definition of "lightweight".
@ingrid I bet @maggie has better ideas, though, since I think there's a think line between "nontechnical user publishing website" and digital gardening: github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners
