About Slate

Slate was created in 2013 by Robert Lord. It was developed to provide a simple, elegant way to generate API documentation from Markdown files, addressing the need for clear and navigable developer documentation.

Strengths of Slate included its clean, intuitive layout and ease of use with Markdown. Weaknesses involved limited customization options and reliance on Ruby for setup. Competitors included Swagger UI, Redoc, and Apiary, which offered more advanced features and integrations.
