We just released a blog post about something I'm very excited about: Great Docs. Post is in the *new* Posit Open Source site:
opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-04...
Great Docs is a #python pkg for creating beautiful Python package websites. We make it easy to use but also give you lots of options.
Great Docs hit v0.10.0. I wrote a little retrospective covering one standout feature from each of its ten releases: auto-discovery, SEO, proofreading, linting, i18n, keyboard nav, versioning, and interactive data tables.

YAML deserves a defense!
opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-05...
The complaints are real but historical as they describe YAML 1.1, not the 1.2 spec that fixed them in 2009. The post traces the full history and introduces py-yaml12, a fast Rust-backed Python library for the modern spec. Hope you enjoy!
Anyone else spoiled by R's pkgdown and find python's mkdocs or sphinx a bit tedious and config-heavy. Check out @richmeister.bsky.social 's awesome new {great-docs} as a batteries-included alternative to spin up an effective docs site in <15 min!
