GitBook
The software that formatted what you're reading now.
After trying a couple hosted and self-hosted blogging solutions, I've settled on GitBook.com. GitBook itself is opensource software and gitbook.com provides a free or paid GitBook hosting service.
The thing that's best about GitBook is the way you can organize a structured outline of the site's contents. The other killer feature is it's ability to do code-related formatting, including:
an editor almost as nice as Medium (and more featured)
contents/outline with nesting and collapsing
code blocks with language-specific highlighting
tabs (e.g. to provide examples in different languages, platforms, etc.)
API documentation form
/v1/cakes/:id
GET https://api.acme.com/v1/cakes/:id
Retrieves the details for a single cake by its id.
Path Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |

include_customer | boolean | Include customer details when true. |
variants (e.g. different spoken language versions of a page)
integrations: Slack, GitHub, Google Analytics, Intercom
versioning of edits (as in why it's called 'git'book)
the free gitbook.com service also allows using a custom domain name
