Hi all. This is David from the Corilla team here.
Corilla is a collaborative documentation tool for software teams. It solves the problems of a core workflow for writing, managing and publishing software documentation.
We're currently in the process of preparing version two of Corilla, so I thought I'd take some time to get some community feedback.
We do this by offering a hosted Markdown editor, saving to an internal repository of topics that are accessed by a novel "collections" mode. This lets you collect groups of topics in dynamic folders but tag/context/theme (the missing feature from Evernote or Google Docs), and publish as private internal or public HTML exports in seconds.
There's a whole host of workflow enhancements for technical writers, developer advocates, dev docs, etc. One I enjoy most days is the screenshot workflow - just copy and paste an image and Corilla takes care of the back end hustle (this used to be a mammoth task at Red Hat, now just as simple as copypasta directly into the UI and directly into a version controlled repo).
We also recently announced free docs hosting [0], so the full workflow from "as many writers on the same doc as you want" to "published to hosted docs service" in a few clicks. Again - I wish I had this at Red Hat.
The intention isn't to replace static docs or the "docs as code" movement, but to solve the problem we faced at Red Hat in enabling non-technical teams to... just write.
We're in use in over 85 countries now and starting work on a new version based on our incredible community feedback. Would love to hear your thoughts.
