What do people think of Slab?
We* defaulted to using slack/gdocs as the de-facto knowledge management tool, quickly realized that's not the way to grow and started looking into a dedicated solution. I used confluence and a few wiki solutions before, both in context of a tech team in a large investment banking institution, startups and community organizations. In the end it was a close call between Confluence and a Slab, we decided to go with Slab. It is simple and straightforward to use for both devs and non-devs in the team. The Slab devs have been very responsive and added an app integration we really needed (for diagramming) in a matter of days, which was impressive.
* My team makes a hardware product that has a lot of complexity (6 levels, from product design to game engine)
Slab makes it incredibly easy to create and consume internal documentation, so it has exactly one purpose in our organization: to be the first (and, ideally, last) place anyone visits with a question. It's now used by every team in the company. I think Slab succeeds for us because it doesn't stray from its core purpose. It makes discovery and navigation easier than Drive, without losing collaboration support, and it makes content creation much more accessible than in a wiki.
It's great. I've used a few wiki's and just wanted to store something as we started our business.
