We've just published the first in a series of Doctave tutorial videos 🎬 Find them in our docs 👉 docs.doctave.com/videos

Still think you should think twice about putting an AI in front of your carefully written developer docs. Your users are not experts in your product. They cannot tell when the LLM is hallucinating and making up features, which it inevitably will (for now at least).

👀

We put a lot of thought into code examples in Doctave 2.0 👩‍💻 ✅ Multi-language examples ✅ Add descriptive titles ✅ Copy to clipboard ✅ Syntax highlighting ✅ Combines with other components like tabs

Your docs are the product. For some companies, the docs are the biggest touch point that the your user will interact with. Much more important than the copy on your marketing site. Invest in your docs, hire tech writers, make your users happy.

Tune in next week for the full discussion!

My discussion about Markdown and Structured Authoring with @remoquete is out! We discussed lots of interesting ideas about how to bring structured authoring concepts into a docs-as-code context Take a look! youtube.com/watch?v=M5L0xy…

This was a great discussion! Thank you to @remoquete for joining us!

Granted Doctave isn't a particularly data-heavy app, I feel like we just crossed some kind of milestone because we had to add a missing database index to address a performance issue. Resulted in a good 150ms faster page loads for some customers!

I had the pleasure of chatting with Manny Silva about his work on VerbaGPT, and how he uses LLMs to cut his time-to-first-draft from 2 days to an incredible 5 minutes Full conversation on YouTube 👇 youtu.be/fr-t0gMmrFk

We're building a brand new editor for technical writing and docs-as-code at Doctave! We're pushing the boundaries of what an editor for documentation and technical writing professionals could look like. Interested? Join the waitlist! Link below 👇
