Hey HN friends,

I have created this tool for any Saas that is currently missing Support Docs or wants to manage them all from a single spot.

Support Docs, such as: User Guides, Knowledge Bases, Documentations, and Changelogs.

The project started with me looking into how to create support docs for my other apps and couldn't find one that does it all.

Then found out that user guides and knowledge bases do rank pretty well for bottom-of-the-funnel customers = Subsection was born.

Currently you can only create a User Guide as I'm in the midst of deploying themes for KB, Docs, and Changelogs.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

I would love to use it actually, but would want to have some pricing or long term garantue.

Thanks. There will be pricing after the Beta. I want to base it on what users are able to pay for something like this.

Could you share a bit about what aspects of it you would use and what would be a good price for your Saas?

I was thinking of spinning op a Docusaurus v2 for a while. But was annoyed by the forced markdown editing for my team mates who are not devs. Gitbook is okay alternative, but forces you to pay per user. But just decided to go for gitbook now, it's basic plan is actually ok.

I understand your careful approach, but I would just set pricing for now, at the moment I don't want to invest all the time of setting up docs and then you having it shut down.

Fair points. Yes, will try to soon have a better understanding about the pricing and post it up.

“Teams” is something I am trying to launch shortly so users within a company can collaborate on various docs.

I hope you get to keep Subsection in the back of your mind, and once you feel we’re here to stay, I would love to have you and your team on Subsection.

I am Val and you’ll most likely find me on the chat support.
