Review GitBook?
Reviewers mostly see GitBook as an easy, flexible way to write and publish documentation, handbooks, wikis, and even personal sites. Several praise its clean interface, strong output, and features like analytics and Lens for helping teams spot gaps and answer support questions. But criticism is consistent on stability: some say updates break the UI, features and extensions feel half-finished, and the editor can differ from the published result, especially with tables. Founders of Bucket and Quash add that their docs stay readable and current.

This is a great tool for organizing your information and create a knowledge base to share with your team. It is a great tool to be able to quickly share with anyone onboarding to internal processes and procedures.
I'm using it to build a Crowdfunding guide that will crush all those others out there. DM me for early release and access.
This product should have much wider use - it's awesome

Good enough, but not great. The UI is clean, but keeps breaking on and off with new updates. Features and extensions are often half-baked and do not work as expected. AI search is acceptable, but not great. Support is helpful but unwilling to solve tricky problems. Some features are offered better by its competitors. Powered by Gitbook banner is too big and cannot be removed in any plan.
Incredible work by the GitBook team. Love the new GitBook Lens feature. It decreases the amount of support tickets that we receive while providing great answers. A bit hard to find in the search UI as users might not be familiar with "Lens".
Big fan of GitBook! I've been using it for my startup's docmentation platform for about a year now and it continues to improve. The GitBook team really listens to their users and it shows with the platform rolling out awesome features on a regular basis. GitBook is the best documentation platform I've used and best of all, it's fun to use!
I have been using GitBook to write product documentation. It's super easy and fast to use, and it's pretty reliable in the way everything comes out once I push things live. Love it! I even plan to use it for my side projects. 🙌
Looks nice, fairly easy to use. However can be unstable and most useful features are very expensive. Other tools are expensive but you get everything plus stability.
Been using this for a while... Gitbook is a life saver.. Let me tell you the best part of this.. It has a little analytics center which you can use to find what people are looking for in the documentation.. Supervised is used by 12K+ users globally and I was able to find that most people were stuck at the upgrading part because it had much more visits than any other page..
Total life saver for devs.. Love this!
