Thanks for the hunt @stringstory and hello everyone! Both @nathan404 and myself will be here all day to answer any questions. Corilla is the product of an active community of technical writers and developers, so we're excited to hear your feedback and learn how we can get better, together. I can also speak a little to the history of Corilla and what inspired us to spin out of the technical content team at Red Hat. PS: we're on Product Hunt now so I guess... this is the end of our beta? 😳 Did we just ⛵️?

Hi @davedri, does it have API documentation? does it support importing from other resources (like github pages)?

@orask In terms of API documentation, we have this on the roadmap but feel that there's some great products in that space at the moment. We wanted to focus first on where the greatest pain was present for technical writers and developers (e.g. all of us) and not replicate what other great companies are doing. It's interesting to note that the various documentation startups tend to get on really well. After all, we care about the same things. Corilla's focus on APIs is a little different to those that emerged as a result of the inspiration of Stripe (and Slate), but that's a way off. As for the importing workflow, that's on the roadmap and something we're adding very soon. I've created a public roadmap entry for this: https://trello.com/c/iNEOB4Q7/21...

@davedri Thank you. I agree there are lots of good API docs but here comes the other issue that we (technical developers) suffer from which is documentation all over the place. Great to see your public roadmap, all the best!

@orask that's a good point. One of the things we like about Corilla as devs and writers is that it bundles the workflow together. Being able to write a topic as a team, collect them into collections, compare version control, and publish to a range of outputs... that alone in one tool would have seemed like the holy grail back in my early techcomms days! Makes me smile to have it all in Corilla now. I hope we can make you smile when we ship our take on the API... 😃 In the meantime please keep those great ideas coming!
