📩 Hello, this is Nick from Zylosystems — hope your week’s going strong!

Last week, we explored Google’s Gemini CLI and how terminals are becoming the next UX surface for AI agents. This week, we’re zooming in on something just as foundational for developer experience — API documentation.

You’ve probably heard of Fern: a YC-backed startup setting a new standard for beautiful, Stripe-like API docs. But what if we told you beautiful isn’t enough?

At Zylosystems, we believe docs shouldn’t just look good — they should live inside your codebase. That’s why we built Zylo-docs: a developer-first, real-time, FastAPI-native documentation system that evolves with your backend.

We’re not competing on looks — we’re redefining what it means to own your API documentation.

📌 Topics covered in this eleventh newsletter:

• What makes Fern great — and where it stops

• Why real-time, code-synced docs are the next leap forward

• How Zylo-docs works with just pip install — no CLI clutter

• The power of headless, local editors for spec collaboration

• Why developer-first DX starts with developer-first docs
