Hi I'm Toby, Maintaining documentation for complex products can be difficult. Software faced similar problems until classes, components, variables evolved and allowed us to edit once - update globally. It opened up building and maintaining huge software systems, like the clouds. Docs Assembler is an experiment to see if we can do something similar for documentation, perhaps where different teams have responsibility for different blocks of documentation, that as components are used and reused by other teams or other companies. This launch is to gather as much feedback as possible, especially if you have to maintain documentation for complex products or ones that are evolving quickly. You can join the discussion here or start a dialogue with us directly at team@netoftrees.com. Toby

@Toby this seems super interesting and might just solve some of my documentation nightmares 😅. Quick question - Do teams need any specific tools or software knowledge to get started? Wondering if there's a steep learning curve. Cheers and good luck!

Thanks @jessicayoungq. What are the problems do you face with your documentation? If you have time to tell us more, you can email us here team@netfotrees.com. Yes you will need Visual Studio Code, Docs Assembler is an extension running within it. I don't think it is a steep learning curve, but vscode can look daunting at first - it is an exceptional tool. We will be producing video tutorials soon to make things easier. Toby
