Agree with notjosh on this -- so what makes documentation good?

Awesome - what about using API Editors (or similar tools) as a way to browse or explore an API? I've seen a lot of companies roll their own API "Explorers" too: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/tools/co

Email Marketing is changing. It's no longer about spamming customers with "marketing BS" whenever possible. It's about sending the right content at the right time and delighting your customers. Email (especially transact

This is very interesting. We've been bounced through Trello/Asana/HipChat/Slack quite a bit, and definitely experience this problem. Curious - how well does it support chat contexts not associated with tasks? Like genera

This is awesome Adrian - I wish this existed six months ago. I've been asked this many times lately, and I think it's important enough to add it here as well: The best way to prepare for the YC application process is to actually w
