I'm not sure what you mean by

> Every project needs a varying ratio of each component and stacking all forms in a single website in the same format is very ineffective

I think Diátaxis _is_ mostly a conceptual framework. It helps me tremendously, totally implementation agnostic. From the site itself:

> Diátaxis strongly prescribes a structure, but whatever the state of your existing documentation - even if it’s a complete mess by any standards - it’s always possible to improve it, iteratively.



I totally agree with your assessment. I just wanted to highlight that “implementation agnostic” is both a blessing and a curse. You can always apply the principles of diataxis but it provides near zero guidance on how to actually build the documentation for a specific project. This does not reduce its conceptual value, but I wish there was another framework with a complementary practical value.
