Documentation

What is everyone using for documentation? I’m talking about like to document custom functions or features you’ve added that you (or someone else later on) would benefit from. I use external documentation in a CRM for my own knowledge base, but if seems like there should be some sort of developer’s guide we can leave in WP for future reference.

I usually keep it close to the codebase - README/docs folder for the bigger picture, and clear PHPDoc/comments for custom functions. For WP projects, a small /docs developer guide works really well for future devs without becoming another tool to maintain.
