When I showed this documentation system to Fittr's developer, his eyes lit up, but the real value in the product is to me--with our previous wiki I could input some basic information--as long as I kept Googling how to do it! Doctant will enable me to quickly leave notes for development and design, and to keep on top of what's going on without constantly bugging the devs verbally. So I know they'll love it, haha.

Danny and I sought out to simplify how documentation (especially technical docs) is created and shared. This is the first iteration. We look forward to feedback from you girls and guys! Example doc: https://read.doctant.com/doctant...

This is awesome. Right now our team uses an internal version of Slate for API documentation. Wish this was around when we were looking for documentation solutions. Excited to see where you go with this.

Fantastic design. Would love to use this as a knowledge base for customers as well as for internal documentation. Currently using Help Scout's documentation but you can tell it's not their focus and lacks attention. Doctant could be grand and very much worth paying for. Keep going.

Looks useful. I just signed up but then was sent to the login page where I had to type the same details in. Will give it a try when I'm at my computer as mobile is showing an error

@deanperry Thanks for the feedback, Dean! It's actually not an error that you're seeing on mobile. The editor is meant for desktop (we expect that most people will write technical docs from their desk), whereas the reader is completely responsive. Check out the reader in these example docs: https://read.doctant.com/doctant....

Here's a trick: Let me create a doc immediately without signing up, then once I've typed a few paragraphs get me to give you my email details. For what appears to be a simple use case, it helps to remove the friction of signing up and creating yet another account somewhere.

Hey, I saw it. As a technical writer, I have used many such doc tools including HelpIQ, beegit, screensteps, Elev.io or even the Zendesk help center (Most of the startups plan the knowledgebase as part of the helpdesk itself; big names including Slack too has its HELP in Zendesk). My post on documentation tools sums up the documentation requirements, particularly for startups: http://idratherbewriting.com/201.... Please share your email where I can share my thoughts :)
