The product is sweet. Enjoyed the UI/UX. However I think the landing page needs a little bit more love (pricing, team, contacts, use case, features lists) what about importing from existing Wikis or plain documentation text files (e.g. markdown, asciidoc)?

Glad you like it and thanks for your input regarding the landing page. There's definitely more work to do. What we're currently working on is some videos that will describe different use cases and how to use Nuclino. The other points you mentioned will follow soon.

Currently, we don't have any importing functionality, but we'll work on that in the near future. It might also be possible that we will provide an API that allows users to create custom import scripts for arbitrary file formats.

An export/backup feature would also be nice. Don't wanna have to trust your average SaaS provider keeping your important stuff backed up properly. ;-)

Good point, we have export on our roadmap. (Of course we use replication and perform daily backups to S3, but I understand your concerns nevertheless)

What kind of export would you like to see? Exporting the whole content of a team as HTML, generating PDFs for all the pages, generating Markdown files? Any preferences?

Probably something more semantically structured than HTML. Markdown could be an option. Maybe something that could be reimported for a 'rogue employee gone mad' scenario?

Definitely Markdown, then one can always convert back and forth other formats (e.g. using Pandoc).
