Simple and effective
What do you like best about the product?
Simple and effective markdown editor and guide creation. Automatically builds REST API reference from open API spec, which keeps the reference data update to date at all times. Version control is nice to have as well as new integration are launched.
What do you dislike about the product?
There could be stronger branding elements and more widget options within the guides, mainly to consolidate more general documentation/help guides in a single place. Also an email capture option would be awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed better developer API docs and a simple way to launch them. We also needed a solution that supported both OpenAPI specs as well as custom specs, and Readme.io was able to do both.
Developer documentation is marketing for tech platforms. Readme makes that marketing easy.
What do you like best about the product?
Readme is extremely easy to get use and launch your documentation. If you are a startup, it is a terrific option as you are thinking about how to explain your product's capabilities and how it can be used by your target market.
Their developer tools are excellent and make it very easy for developers using different languages to understand how to use the system and achieve a quicker time to value.

What do you dislike about the product?
Readme is built for technology platforms that want to enable customers to self-serve. Readme is also built on this self-serve model - its customer engagement and roadmap is still evolving. But the good news is that its team is very responsive to feedback and actively seeks input from its customer base. This is a platform on the rise.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SaaS products are complex, and developers are increasingly the buyer of these services. Traditional, wordy marketing websites do not appeal to developers - they prefer to review JSON, XML, or GraphQL directly. Readme makes it very easy to document your service and put your best foot forward with the important audience.
Clear and standardized docs, easy to use and share API documentation
What do you like best about the product?
1. Easy to use.
2. Ease of sharing the request response as curl
3. Headers are set once and is used accross

What do you dislike about the product?
1. Copy Paste of table is difficult - you have to first make it a raw/code and then paste
2. Cannot set two different types to same key i.e object or null

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's fast and easy to showcase API integrations where there are multiple scenarios - especially multiple request and responses
Great Product to decrease integration time.
What do you like best about the product?
Readme is very feature rich. It makes it simple for the technology team to make their changes known to integrating partners as well as business and marketing to give their touch to the documents. It makes it easy to display changes, highlight "good to knows" and even proivde recipes for integrating.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I would like to change is make it easier for the technology and business to work together on pages. When the page is taking the docs straight from the code, it makes it hard for business to add their touch as it will get overwritten every time. If the pages could be hybrid or have some locking functionality that would be fantastic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work with many different levels of technology teams to integrate with our software. ReadMe makes it easy for all levles to pick up our documents for our many differnt products and begin integrating with us right away. We often get compliments on our docs, which is a big shoutout for ReadMe.
An Easy Solution for Deploying REST API Docs
What do you like best about the product?
ReadMe greatly simplifies deploying API docs to our userbase, with easy CI setup and straightforward processes for configuring layout and navigation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some customization options could be useful to have, but aren't available yet - like renaming certain sections in accordance with what our team uses ("workflow samples" instead of "recipes", for example).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ReadMe makes it easy to present user-friendly REST docs to an audience that may not necessarily know how to interpret a Swagger page.
ReadMe is easy to use and designed well for simple APIs
What do you like best about the product?
ReadMe offers best practices right in the box. You don't need much background in good API development as simply following all the steps helps. It supports markdown and the UX looks and feels good. There is a lot of automated features like suggestions, changelogs, home pages, code snippet that automates the process.
What do you dislike about the product?
Full OpenAPI 3.0 support is still quite lacking. In our case have to make a script that crawls all our objects so that ReadMe is unable to process it naturally. It does not have a native notion of what a shared Shema is. This is where Redoc excels at.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saving us a lot of time with building a developer portal. We don't see fancy customization and mainly need to build stuff using very little time.
The ultimate documentation tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love that ReadMe allows us to build a variety of content including change logs and guides. It is easy to use and the content created is rich and engaging for readers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, we really like the product at InSkill
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ReadMe lets us maintain all of our published documentation in one place.
Easy to use, looks great, fantastic support
What do you like best about the product?
Support is amazing, and the product makes it super easy to generate good looking docs
What do you dislike about the product?
I always want more configuration, but readme is pretty great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Readme helps API first companies generate great docs easily
Great product for simple, clean customer documentation
What do you like best about the product?
-really easy to use guides
-integrations for simple formatting (bold, italicize, link, integrations) - this allows for enough expression without cluttering the page
-very responsive support team

What do you dislike about the product?
-landing page after login is rather confusing, lots of different widgets and options
-formatting text options take a while to get used to
-interface for suggesting and merging edits is a bit confusing

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating simple technical documentation that can be easily shared with our client base. This product doesn't provide a lot of different options - which actually makes it really easy to get started and get the documentation off the ground
Quickly and easily create technical docs that people will love
What do you like best about the product?
From an administration perspective, the CI integration made it very easy for our entire technical team of engineers to be able to contribute to documentation writing.
On the end user side, the navigation, permalinks, and real-time API tests are very cool. The Recipes are a great feature that we will be increasingly taking advantage of.

What do you dislike about the product?
We are early users so we do not see much to dislike at the moment. It is very tailored to technical documentation, it would be nice to be able to consolidate all of our product resources in one place. That doesn't seem realistic with Readme.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Readme stores, organizes, and displays our technical product documentation. This includes our API docs and technical setup. We host code examples and "how-tos" as well
