As an engineer myself, I experienced knowledge sharing problems throughout my career. I'm sure you are all familiar with those — getting an out-dated onboarding doc when starting a new job; digging through multiple tools to find a spec you swear you saw before; answering the same question over and over in Slack — you name it.
We believe in the power of good written communication, especially in today's remote-first environment. Slab is laser-focused on fulfilling this need.
We built Slab to be the best knowledge base for your entire team. We focus on the editor, post management, and search. We're not trying to be your issue tracker, calendar, or any other tangentially-related tool. Instead, we integrate with other tools that fit your workflow.
Some other features I wanted to highlight for HN:
- Editor: Our editor has a simple and easy UI but still support advanced usages like code syntax highlighting and Markdown-type shortcuts.
- Unified search: You won't miss any potential search hits just because you are looking into the wrong place, our search covers Slack, Dropbox, Google Drive, GitHub, Box, Asana, Confluence, Trello, and more tools.
- Verified posts: You can assign a maintainer to each post and Slab will remind them to keep posts accurate.
Looking forward to your feedback and happy to answer any questions you have!
