Documentation

Built to be read.

Documentation-grade software: versioned, tested, and written down before it ships.

If it isn't written down, it doesn't exist.

About

How it works

Specimen is built docs-first: if a feature can't be explained in a page, it goes back. The changelog is public, the examples are executable, and the defaults are boring on purpose.

Specimen

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Is there an API reference?

Complete and versioned — every endpoint, flag and error code, with runnable examples.

How do breaking changes work?

Major versions only, announced a release ahead, with a written migration path.

Can I self-host?

Yes — one binary, one config file, and a setup page that fits on one screen.

Start building.

It's one of Plot's designs — build your own, free.
