<div><b>What do you use for your product documentation?</b></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We just launched a new service and our docs were foolishly / typically left to the last minute.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Long-term we're going to use Github pages but we have no time (or people) to make it pretty. And add search. Or train those writing the docs.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>In desperation, we've chucked them on <a href="http://readme.io">readme.io</a>. However, words cannot describe how terrible readme is. Avoid. Plague. Although it is superficially pretty:</div>

<div><br></div>
<div>We already use Intercom for support so we need none of that. We have our api documentation on <span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);line-height:19.5px">apiary (http://</span><font color="#444444"><span style="line-height:19.5px"><a href="http://docs.polkaspots.apiary.io/#">docs.polkaspots.apiary.io/#</a>) </span></font><span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);line-height:19.5px">which is awesome.</span>

<div><br></div>
<div><b>Stuff we tried:</b></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>- Zendesk - good support system, crap docs, terrible community aspect.</div>
<div>- Freshdesk - support orientated.</div>
<div>- Help Scout - ok but more about support. Ugly.</div>
<div>- Help Juice - OMG VPL expensive.</div>
<div>- Readme.io - genuinely made me irate.</div>
<div>- Desk - seemingly all about support.</div>
<div>- Atlassian - the peeps writing them couldn't understand it.</div>
<div>- Github pages - fabulous but needs attention and same issue as Atlassian.</div>
<div>- Userdeck - no idea what it does still.<br></div>
<div>
<span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-size:13px;line-height:19.5px">- HappyFox - v basic </span><font color="#444444"><span style="line-height:19.5px">apparently, didn't try.</span></font><br></div>
<div>- <span style="color:rgb(68,68,68);font-size:13px;line-height:19.5px">kayako - too complicated to set up.</span>
</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We need something simple. With basic search. And it needs to be pretty. And easy to use.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If this magical beast doesn't exist, it should. I'd even write something with some of you.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Great product, shoddy docs. Not cool.</div>
