I also love your future docs roadmap - it aligns with our roadmap and some things are already there! - API keys are locally cached across the API reference. Let me know if there are more fields you think would be convenient to cache and we can investigate. - Whichever programming language you choose for a code block should also sync across pages. - We also launched AI translations so you can support docs in any language! - We also have AI Chat and are planning on devoting more resources to it so that it's best in class.
Mintlify is building the modern standard for developer documentation. Our customers include the fastest growing AI companies such as X, Anthropic, Cursor, Perplexity, Scale AI, alongside 6000+ other companies.

- iterate, iterate, iterate
- developers deserve good UI too (if it's good it should be extra functional & increase productivity)
- Opinionated when you’re lazy. Infinitely flexible when you need it to be - developers want control & speed
Mintlify creates public-facing documentation for other companies - such as help guides and API references. We are a seed-stage company and we have been working on this product for a little over a year.

> It doesn't help that most of us use vim/neovim and not IDEs ... majority of engineers don't really like the documentation part of their work and most tools make it worse!
Mintlify's editing experience is powered by mdx files that live alongside your code which makes it super easy for developers to edit docs if that is of interest to you.
> The space is crowded with many similar products.
Totally agree. This thread is proof that there is a lot of innovation happening here and a lot of different angles & approaches. It's exciting!
Documentation is such a hard problem to "solve" if you're a fast-moving startup. You need a mixture of creating a documentation-first culture and acknowledging that documentation is difficult to maintain. Ultimately you end up creating processes to help people document their intent, decisions and the mission critical information.
There is also such a large range of types of documentation - varying scale from internal to external and technical to non-technical.
We started by creating https://writer.mintlify.com/ which really resonated with developers because it made it easier to write documentation, but it only helped generate documentation that was highly technical and close to the code. We decided to stay in the documentation space but try another vector and so now we're taking a crack at public-facing documentation - which in my opinion is a different can of worms than internal documentation. However as I'm building and growing my startup and I find myself continuously playing whack-a-mole and I definitely hope that we can build the foundation and expand to make it easier to maintain all different types of documentation.
