This is a nice concept. If you are looking for a full-featured Markdown documentation product, I just released an app called GuideKit (https://guidekit.com). It's free for open source users. We track document versions with Git, offer a Markdown editor with live previewing, and every site has question & answer forums built-in.

GuideKit seems really nice. Nice UI. However, one of the reason behind beautiful docs is to keep the documentation as files. That way, everything is in git and readable from the shell/github too.

If you add an "import/sync with github" option, this would be really great.

Funny you mentioned importing from GitHub - that feature is mostly complete and should be launching sometime this week or next. I understand where you are coming from about keeping everything in files, I think that is perfect for technical users.

I masked some of those details in GuideKit to hopefully attract both technical and non-technical users (like support teams that don't know how to use git). But, I plan to offer pull/push capability in the future so you can edit your GuideKit docs locally with a text editor and push them back up.

Anyhow, nice job with beautifuldocs. I applaud any tools that help/encourage developers to write nice docs!
