ACTV8me Documentation | John Hansen Design

Scalable, contributor-friendly docs for ACTV8me.

I created a documentation platform to support ACTV8me’s SDK and global content and developer team. My goal was to make contributions open, simple and inviting.

Front-end Development / Design System

Democratized Docs

Overview

I created a documentation system to support ACTV8me’s SDK and open the process to wider collaboration.

To support a growing developer ecosystem, I designed and maintained platforms that made technical resources clear, contributions simple, and updates scalable.

Collaboration & Workflow

A new process

I shifted documentation from email chains, Slack messages and in-person sessions to a contributor-first system powered by Git pull requests.

This approach allowed developers around the world to submit updates directly, with the core team reviewing and publishing changes. The system encouraged collaboration, reduced friction, and gave everyone a voice in shaping the documentation.

Building with Investment

Modern framework

I built a modern Vue.js, company-branded platform ready to evolve.

The platform was styled to match ACTV8me’s brand and designed to expand easily. It supported Markdown, making it friendly for non-developers while still powerful for technical teams. This balance kept the documentation approachable and future-proof.

Branded & Easy to Update

Unifed & accessible

Painted in my light design system, the docs blended into other ACTV8me experiences.

The documentation system was visually aligned with company standards and built for quick updates, ensuring accuracy without long email chains or bottlenecks. This balance of polish and practicality kept the platform both professional and approachable. This was especially important as we courted client partnerships.

Core Enhancements

Contribute, document & share

Democratized documentation that worked for both developers and non-developers alike — for everyone.

The final system included an Angular SDK site for iOS and Android integration powered by Doxygen and a Vue.js contribution platform powered by Markdown for global collaboration. Together, they improved onboarding, streamlined updates, and created a sustainable foundation for ACTV8me’s content and developer community.

Outcomes

Deliverables

I delivered a scalable, branded documentation system ready for growth.

The project ultimately stacked onto what we had and now produced two platforms that created a complementary system that everyone could contribute to:

An Angular SDK site for iOS/Android developers (Doxygen-powered) that I maintained
A Vue.js documentation platform for contributions and collaboration (Markdown-powered) that I built

The documentation site was used during many of our partnerships including AMC and GSTV among others.
