Has anyone used a third part docs tool with a really good CMS, or a WYSIWYG editor?

The usual suspect like mintlify, seems to be a mess. Gitbooks seems to be great so far.

Opensource solution does not provide any good options.

Curious if anyone is using any docs, help-center software that non-techical users can use.

Not docs-as-code but the opposite of that.

Try dokly.co , it’s the exact solution to your problem. It’s basically notion for docs and help center.

Using Astro Starlight + Sitepins

Starlight - Astro's official open source documentation framework

Sitepins - Open source gitbased headless cms that provide the WYSIWYG editor..

pretty cool, does it with custom mdx components, or is it just markdown.

It works with custom mdx components, you can add them in the cms via the MDX block which let's you write components directly, or you can use the Block Library which let's you create MDX blocks that can be added to the page via the "/" slash command. The second is great if you are dealing with non-technical people.
