Hi everyone, I'm Dragos, the founder of Archbee.io
Super excited to share version 2 with you 😊
Though not intentional, it became a versatile tool. People are using it for team wikis, knowledge bases, developer & API doc sites, and even personal notes!
What's neat about it?
👩🎨 Completely redesigned for a better user experience
✍️ Editor with realtime Markdown conversion (check it out in the gifs above)
🔦 Inline comments and mentioning team members
⌬ 20+ custom blocks: list, checklist, table, callout, minitask, file, image, video, map, multilanguage code editor, diagram, Mermaid.js, api endpoint, Swagger/Open API, GraphQL, changelog, HTML iframe
🗂 Doc tree hierarchy similar to Notion for great content structuring
🌎 Doc sites with custom domain like with GitBook or ReadMe, hosting and SSL
🎨 The sites are fully customizable with custom JS, CSS, HTML
🛡 The sites can be public, password-protected, guest account protected, or using JWT for automatic auth for your users
🔌 25+ integrations: Slack, Figma, Airtable, Loom, Codepen, Github Gist, Trello, Lucidchart, Typeform, Miro, Google Docs to name a few
🖥 Native apps for desktop are available and mobile ones coming Q2 2021
💰 Bang-for-the-buck pricing
Since the launch of our very early (and buggy 🥶) 1.0, we've been talking to customers and hammering at the product, deploying updates every single day, with an avg of 1.4 times per day.
For the techies in here. Our tech stack is TypeScript (strict), React, Next.js, Node.js, MySQL, Elasticsearch, DynamoDB, Redis, S3, Cloudfront and everything runs in AWS (ElasticBeanstalk + ECS Fargate + hosted dbs).
Fun fact: I've been building this thing by myself for more than 1 year now, and @paul_nica has recently joined to help with marketing, so we're a TINY team. But as you'll see if you try the product, we pack a punch.
🤩🤩🤩🤩 Stoked to hear your input, leave it down below!

Probably one of the best writing experiences I’ve had in a long time! Archbee is becoming one of my favorite tools to create logs and document about my company. Dragos is a super responsive founder and open to feedbacks.
Three things I like the most:
1 - How easy is to put Archbee on a subdomain
2 - Highlight a sentence with a cursor to comment
3 - Tagging users right on text can turn it in a small task manager without needing to rely on another Task tool when generating content on it
@tayshiro thanks! what do you think we can improve?

@dragos_bulugean being able to add doc by forms and add upvotes (by cookie or ip) to docs would be awesome as well.
For now I'm currently checking everything =) Smooth experience
Hey thats cool. Could you please highlight what is the difference between Archbee and Notion - many people would ask that first if I tell them about Archbee
@vlad_korobov yep. There is some overlap in usecases (e.g. team wiki), and some UX patterns are very similar, but that's about it. What's very different:
1. Archbee is more focused on technical audiences: developers (apidocs, diagrams, markdown, Mermaid.js, changelogs), technical writers and SaaS
2. Archbee provides hosting for collections of docs (which AFAIK Notion does not)
3. We're a very small team and are focused on 1 thing only: documentation. Notion is an all-in-one tool that tries to do Project Management and Data with their tables.
4. We're a very simple solution UX wise: Notion is super complex (that can be a really good thing in some cases)
Humbled people compare us with Notion: they have a great team, product, and great funding!
@vlad_korobov@dragos_bulugean Thank you for such clarification. Very helpful. Another often issues comes up is that developers would like to have their docs in their repos. Is there a way you address that? For example regular daily backup somehow or sync with a file system?
One of the best documentation management solutions I have found. Whether creating an internal wiki, or public-facing documentation Archbee can fit your needs. Their client is intuitive and provides innumerable degrees of flexibility. Whether you're a SaaS, on-prem solution, or just have a project you need to publish documentation on, Archbee can absolutely fit your needs.
Working with the team at Archbee, @dragos_bulugean has been attentive to all of our needs and requirements.
@dragos_bulugean@devon_lawler thanks so much Devon!
To everybody, Epsagon is a great solution for observability, we're switching over when we move to Lambda. Devon and the team are very close to AWS team, they told us about containers in Lambda way before they got released by AWS last week!

Been looking for a solution to easily share documentation internally and externally, and an alternative to Confluence, so planning to give this a try. Congratulations on the launch!
@timothy_fong thanks so much! we plan to grow a bit on the team side, but not much :)

@timothy_fong@dragos_bulugean Do you have plans of making it easier to cross link? For example, in Confluence I can select text to hyperlink and then get autocomplete / type -ahead links to all other pages
