> Prior to today’s funding announcement, the company had taken just a $1.2 million seed round in 2014. Today, it reports 3,000 paying customers and that it has been profitable for the last several years<p>Well there is something you don't see every day.<p>I'm impressed by how far they've come. If in 2015 you told me you're starting a company that helps companies customize their API documentation, I would have marked you as a particularly shiny unicorn.
Founder here! I know funding news isn't always a match for HN, but I'm glad someone posted it here since HN is where it all started.<p>Here's our launch, if anyone wants to go back and look: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8422408" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8422408</a>
I've read pretty much everything on the site and between the high level marketing speak and generic wireframes, I have no idea what it does or what problem it actually solves. There's even a link if you hover over about that says "Learn about why we exist". I thought for sure that would have something, but it's just a list of all the employees. It looks like the only way to figure out what it actually does is to sign up.<p>If had come across their site without any context I would have assumed it was a generic marketing site template that needed to be filled in. I'm sorry for being so negative, but I am interested in documentation related technology and it bugs me that I can't for the life of me figure out what this is after seing things posted about it on Hackernews for the last few years.
Big reason why Readme really didn't work for us was because - we wanted one secured internal knowledge base and one external knowledge base but that was not easily supported. Also we needed integration with Zendesk because we wanted to re-direct customers to our KB but that was not easily done.
