Hello all, need some recommendations on easy to use knowledge base app. To save developer/business documentations. Had been using notion but it's not developer friendly and has a huge learning curve.

Atlassian's Confluence

Confluence works best with compete atlassian suite.
l
I second @boundless-byte-71054 - if you are using JIRA, Confluence is a no-brainer.
s
Checkout awesome-selfhosted on GitHub. You will find a few alternative options if Atlassian turns out to be too costly.
m
Thing is we moved away from jira to clubhouse, and code is maintained in AWS code-commit. Thus, looking for some third-party which gets easily integrated with slack and other systems.

Hi @many-knife-55841 I had bookmarked this link - https://www.producthunt.com/ask/2519-what-s-the-best-team-wiki-documentation-tool. Out of the many tools mentioned above, Slab and Tettra look like they integrate well with Slack.

cool thanks! @calm-grass-85557

If you're okay paying for it, Gitbook is really good
m
hmm, will check it out.
m
Can you give some more context? Is this for personal use? For team use? Is this documentation accessible to your users/clients?
m
team use
m
Then I'd just use github markdown files. Simplest, no?
Assuming all your teammates are developers of course.

Assuming all your teammates are developers of course.
Why can't non-developers use markdown? There's no restriction
m
Else a simple static site will do (vuepress, gitbook, github pages, readthedocs etc)
m
Static pages are good for product documentation, we need something which can be easily updated day in day out, by multiple teams not only devs.
Thanks for the input, I find slite, slab and few others appealing.

Slite and Gitbook are both good options. Slite is better looking though.
m
Closing remark: Checked slite & gitbook, and guess what slite turned out to be in the same league as coda & notion only with less things to learn. But, gitbook is the closest to what I was looking for. Simple to use, with powerful search for documents, track edits, developer friendly and best itโ€™s markdown native. _One specific requirement that my team asked for_: they do not want to leave project-repository to update the documentation. Thus, gitbook sync with github solves the problem. Only thing is I have to build a utility which would copy readme.md from all projects and push them in a single repo in github which would sync up with gitbook. There u have a centralized documentation for all the repo with built in indexing and realtime publish. Thanks all.
