Announcement: We are currently not adding any applications to WinUtil and any apps that will be added through a PR will be declined by the maintainer. Announcement: We are currently reworking the docs to use Hugo rather then mkdocs.

The Development Documentation is auto generated for every compilation of WinUtil, meaning a part of it will always stay up-to-date. Developers do have the ability to add custom content, which won't be updated automatically.
