This looks very cool. My company (http://periscope.io http://periscope.io) is just now getting to the point of putting documentation online, and -- surprise! -- it's a huge pain and products in this space all seem mediocre.
One deal-breaker for me is that it has to feel like it's on my website. This means templates are not enough: I need full CSS customizability (statuspage.io does a good job with this) or iframe ability. The lack of a great, fully customizable product in this space is why I am currently fucking around with Markdown pages.
It's certainly fair to charge a lot more than you're apparently charging in order to get this customizability -- needing it probably predicts a real business that cares about its brand. (If knol.io becomes a big business I bet you'll end up charging a lot more in general.)
Anyway, awesome job with this! Looks like a great product solving a real problem.
- jevin 12y agoThanks for these kind words! Theme customisation is definitely something on our future features list. But maybe we should move it up on the priority list. ;-)
- lingben 12y agojust took a quick look at your site, are you using D3 for the charting?
- hglaser 12y agoCanvasJS, which we're really pleased with. Very fast to develop with, very fast to render (some customers have hundreds of charts per dashboard).
- lingben 12y agothanks, hadn't heard of canvasjs, I'm assuming it is relatively new? could you explain a little about why you chose it? and how you compared and determined the other options out there? I'm in the same boat and looking at several possible solutions (for example DC.js which is based on D3) so would appreciate any help. thanks
