Sunsetting Writerside IDE

JetBrains is sunsetting Writerside IDE - a solution for creating and publishing documentation. While we’re closing the standalone version, the Writerside plugin for JetBrains IDEs will remain available for free.

If you’re using the standalone version of Writerside, you can switch to the Writerside plugin in your JetBrains IDE. The plugin will continue receiving some updates, bug fixes, and support for the foreseeable future, as Writerside remains a core tool for JetBrains internal documentation.

More details in the blog post

If you were using it to document your plugins, nothing will change for your existing documentation projects:
:white_check_mark: Your documentation will remain available on your JetBrains Marketplace plugin page
:white_check_mark: You can continue maintaining and updating your docs as usual
:white_check_mark: The Writerside plugin for JetBrains IDEs will remain available for free on JetBrains Marketplace.

If you need to request a new build configuration for your documentation, you can do so by reporting an issue in the Writerside project in YouTrack.

Bummed to hear, but I was glad to read that JetBrains decided to keep a plug-in around with the functionality in a plug-in for folks! :clap:
