Hey there, this is the developer (and HN mostly-lurker-sometimes-poster). Thanks for checking out FaqMe.
I built FaqMe because I wanted a simple content management system to manage all my FAQs for my various projects. Then I decided to go insane with the UI and stats n stuff & make it more awesome than I would have if I were just banging out an FAQ.
Yes, you could code a FAQ yourself, just like you could code a blog yourself without Wordpress. But hopefully this makes it easier for some folks (much like Wordpress makes it easier to blog).
(also it does more than just FAQs -- there's also a 'contact us' thing that routes customer service emails through a FaqMe inbox in a deceptively simple way, and supports replying & threads n stuff. i know this description doesn't make sense. i should make a faq about it;)
Ps- I never know whether to write "a FAQ" or "an FAQ" ('fack' vs 'eff aye cue')
- YuriNiyazov 15y agoThanks for starting f*company back in the day. It provided ample entertainment while I was in college!
- jerrya 15y agoI have certainly seen plenty of poor faqs, outdated faqs, faqs lacking what I think are needed answers. While others point to how "easy" it is to code up a faq, there are plenty of websites that are easily able to code up a faq, and still cannot, and plenty of websites filled with great stuff, that serve a group that cannot and do not, code anything. I actually think this is a pretty nice service to offer.

- almightygod 15y agoThe wordpress vs blog analogy isn't really the same. If you have a FAQ page then it is very likely you already have a website. Adding one more page with some google analytics shouldn't be too much work. On the other hand if I start with nothing, then the wordpress option would be considerably easier then writing my own blog. It seems that the itch your scratching is multiple sites with multiple FAQs. You may want to focus on that niche and tout this as a core feature on your homepage.
- pud 15y agoIt's possible you are right and I will be the only person using FaqMe. It wouldn't be the first time I was my own biggest customer. :-)
- jasonwilk 15y agoI knew this site smelled of Pud as soon as I saw it. Is this another cold fusion operation?
