Source ‒ Front-end documentation engine
summary
Source is a front-end documentation engine that claims to make UI code the source of truth by writing examples and docs alongside code it serves open source on GitHub and already at v3 stable. The app runs as a JavaScript client and Node.js backend, links project CSS so docs render like production, stores specs client‑side, supports plugins (a “bubble”), shows code snippets and copies of Bootstrap examples, and plans autotesting with flatterjs for visual regression so documented examples are automatically checked.
