con··on Show HN: Arc Studio Pro – Collaborative Editing/Version Control for Screenplays
I just tried the editor. Really smart how Characters, Scenes, Dialogs etc. are handled.

Re Cookie policy: I think that is only for the EU? You could probably remove the modal for others (like me, in TH).

con··on Piknik – Copy and paste anything over the network
Same, but different: https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole

Great to copy from any host to another, just by sharing a short secret.

Ah, bash.org!

con··on SlimFAQ – Simple FAQ's for your app or website
UPDATE: We heard you! We've rolled out a new version of our landing page that shows our current plans. Thanks for the great feedback!

It's still free (forever) to sign up and have an FAQ with up to 20 questions. You'll need to upgrade to a paid plan after that. Enjoy and feel free to get in touch! Thanks!

Good point! Although the FAQ is accessible by clicking the "Demo" link in the navigation and the little speak-bubble in the bottom right, we can do a better job. We'll rollout a version of the landing page that features pricing and a more accessible FAQ. Thank you!

As an engineer on SlimFAQ: That's exactly why we build it!

Custom domain name support is coming, per-FAQ analytics is also in the pipeline. As for a template system: we've played around with some ideas but couldn't agree on a simple and nice integration yet - but we are planning to offer more customisation options to make it easier to fit your site's or application's style.

We are already providing a nifty WYSIWYG editor - you should give it a try! Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. It's also in our FAQ ( https://slimfaq.com/faq/24-getting-started/84-how-much-does-... ) - accessible by clicking on the little speak-bubble in the bottom right of the page.

We'll think of a better way to make that more accessible on the landing page. Thanks!

Thanks! Great feedback! We plan to add native integration (for iOS) and localization, soon.

The "slices" feature sounds interesting, we'll investigate. For now we want to keep it as simple as possible. Thanks! (I'm an engineer on SlimFAQ)

Thanks @guptaneil - that's some great feedback!

You are correct, we don't have DNS mapping in place, yet - but we plan to add that in the near future. Your FAQ will currently be hosted at slimfaq.com/your-company-name - you can change your company name (and path) at any time.

We are considering a "Ask your question" feature - currently we are using Intercom for this in our own FAQ. Thanks!

@con from SlimFAQ here: With a free account you have access to all features but are limited to a maximum of 20 questions.

Seems like we are not doing the best we can to communicate our features and the difference between a free and a paid subscription. We will look into this and update the landing page. Thank you!

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Good question! We've just launched and this was not on a bad intend (didn't even have time to A/B test this yet :)). I'll talk to the rest of the team - maybe we should put pricing on the landing page. We've nothing to hide: it's free for up to 20 questions (including all features) - it's 7$ a month for unlimited questions. Let me know if you have any more questions! Thanks!

That's what we thought at first, too. But then you'll want search and easy content creation that works without developer involvement. We've added customisation and a sleek Intercom integration on top.

Target market is anyone with a website or application that requires an FAQ and doesn't have the resources to "knock it out in a few minutes". :) You can start for free with up to 20 questions (20 questions will be free forever, including the Intercom integration). I'm one of the developers on the team - hope I could help!

Hey there, @con from SlimFAQ speaking: We've build SlimFAQ out of our own pain: we wanted a simple, searchable FAQ that can be managed by our support team for SlimWiki (i.e. it's super simple to use, even for not so tech-savy people).

Unfortunately we didn't find what we looked for - so we build what we wanted. And since we are big fans (and customers) of Intercom, we made sure to integrate it where we saw fit. If you don't know Intercom yet, you should definitely check it out! (Right after you gave SlimFAQ a try :) )

That's why we tried to make content creation as simple as possible: you can add categories and questions by just typing and hitting return ("brain storm"). Only questions with actual answers will be visible to visitors. This helped us a lot with the writing process. (I'm one of the engineers at SlimFAQ)

@con from SlimFAQ here, happy to answer your questions:

We make content creation super simple and include a seamless integration with Intercom. We are also free (forever) for up to 20 questions. You should give us a try and see for yourself!
