My former team used Confluence and Google Docs for knowledge sharing and found that it worked great for planning projects, but fell short for things that change quickly or are relevant for only a short period of time - code commands, debugging tips, meeting takeaways.
We relied on slack and personal notes for these tidbits which resulted in the information being difficult to find.
This experience inspired us to start Bytebase, the byte-size knowledge base for engineering teams.
Everything in Bytebase is a "byte" - a short chunk of information - not a document, and bytes can be composed of other bytes.
Bytebase makes it easy to capture and share bytes using a shortcut-heavy UX that feels familiar to engineers.
Would love any feedback or ideas. Email me (cara@bytebase.io) to get access to the closed beta with HN in the subject line.
