Great software an amazing team

We ran into an issue and the team was extremely responsive, including the [SENSITIVE CONTENT] himself. Very impressed.

PROS

Documentating APIs, both for OpenAPI specs and custom ones, was really easy to do. The CMS system is simple and easy to use, and never had an issue with loosing work. Fast and responsing.

CONS

I wish they had a dark mode (apparently it is coming soon) and more preset themes, however they do allow for custom CSS.

Reason for choosing ReadMe

Chose Readme as they allowed for both OpenAPI specs as well as custom specs.

Readme un outil de partage de documentation facile d'utilisation et intuitif

Avant readme, nous avions nos documentation produit sur des words que nous mettions en pdf pour partager à nos clients. Aujourd'hui l'ensemble des docs est publier en ligne simple de lecture. Nos clients peuvent faire des sugestions quand la doc n'est pas claire et il y a aussi un forum...

PROS

Le produit est simple à utiliser et prendre en main. la gestion des versions permet de stocké vos anciennes version. Cela fait maintenant plus de 2 ans que nous utilisons Readme en starter et il répond au besoin de notre entreprise.

CONS

Dans les 1er offres, il manque certaines fonctionnalités sympa comme l'export en PDF. La traduction de la doc n'est pas possible il faut passer par un autre outil...

Extremely Basic Software

It's fine if you only want a very basic doc site. If you want anything more, this is not for you. Support is also very laggy.

PROS

The Suggest Edits feature is really good. Users can send suggested edits which you can merge directly into the documentation.

CONS

Very basic features, no image library, buggy search, proprietary Markdown (tables, images, code blocks, etc.), very basic branding, almost unusable on mobile, PDF feature doesn't work, very limited account types (either Admin or Reader, but nothing in between), etc.

Best documentation for developers

PROS

ReadMe has one of the best API reference tools I've ever used. API consumers can interact with the API from the documentation page directly without further setup. The dashboard also helps give insights into how the API is used.

CONS

Not fully supporting OpenAPI 3.0, we have to write some script to workaround the issue.
