Read the Docs is an open-sourced free software documentation hosting platform.^[1] It generates documentation written with the Sphinx documentation generator, MkDocs,^[2] or Jupyter Book.^[3]

History

The site was created in 2010 by Eric Holscher, Bobby Grace, and Charles Leifer.^[4]

On March 9, 2011, the Python Software Foundation Board awarded a grant of US$840 to the Read the Docs project for one year of hosting fees.^[5] On November 13, 2017, the Linux Mint project announced that they were moving their documentation to Read the Docs.^[6] In 2020, Read the Docs received a $200,000 grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.^[7] For 2021, Read the Docs reported 700 million page views and 196 million unique visitors.^[8]

In 2013, a "Write the Docs" conference for Read the Docs users was launched, which has since turned into a generic software-documentation community.^[9]^[10]^[11] As of 2022, it continues to hold annual global conferences, organize local meetups, and maintain a Slack channel for "people who care about documentation."^[12]
