This is the very first blog post on sweetcode.com

I've invested quite a bit of time finding a better CMS for sweetcode.com as WordPress was not checking all the boxes that I was looking for. In order to write nice documentation faster and still structurally concise and visually appealing we needed a different approach. First I found https://docsify.js.org/ which I used for the documentation for the Pixel Manager for WooCommerce. I liked it because of its use of markdown to write documentation pages. Soon I got addicted to that approach and wanted to use it for blog posts too. But Docsify is too limited in that regard.
