Hi,
is there a way to use Ghost docs as a theme?
@hmmatos Firstly, welcome to the Ghost community!
You can see via this link to https://builtwith.com/ that the Ghost documentation pages are built with Hugo and hosted on Netlify.. In other words, that isn’t a Ghost theme they are using on that section of the website.
There aren’t many documentation-style themes available for Ghost and I’m guessing, but I think this might be because documentation sites would generally benefit from being static webpages.
There is the option of using Ghost as a headless CMS in conjunction with Hugo (and Hugo has some good documentation themes). You can see my recent post on this topic and a very helpful response from @DavidDarnes here.
If you are just looking to make a documentation site, you might like to take a look at static site generators. To get you started, some things to Google would be Jamstack, Hugo, Jekyll and MkDocs.
I hope this helps!
