GitBook 3.0 - Document everything, from start to ship

Hi ProductHunt 👋 It's been 6 years since we first released GitBook as an open-source project, and today we are excited to launch the 3rd major update to the platform. From day one, we built GitBook to empower developers and technical teams to embed knowledge and documentation into their daily workflow. Providing a Git workflow with change requests to edit and collaborate on documents and powerful GitHub / GitLab integrations to keep documentation in sync with code. Since then, we've been proud to see over 1.5M docs hosted on GitBook, reaching a collective 70M page views per month. The major focus of this release has been expanding on that core foundation and delivering a first set of integrations. Here's a quick overview of what's new: 🔌 10 first integrations to connect GitBook to developer and collaboration software like Linear, Sentry, Jira, Arcade, and Figma. With more amazing integrations and custom blocks coming from the community in the next months. 🌈 Fresh new look for documentation published on GitBook, with a stronger focus on accessibility and performance. 🎨 New customization features to empower content creators to publish documentations that perfectly aligns with their brand. 🧩 New content blocks, like cards, expandable blocks, diagrams, and drawings to create advanced interactive content. We've come a long way in 6 years, and GitBook is now a team of 35 and still hosting some of the world's largest open source documentation. As always, thanks so much for all your support! We are excited about what is coming next for GitBook. We'll be hanging out in the comments all day to chat ✌️ Read the full announcement on our blog: https://blog.gitbook.com/product...

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I joined the GitBook team 6 months ago and am still in awe of what this small but mighty team has accomplished over the years. Without any kind of official launches, this team has been quietly but steadily shipping features and iterating on a product that now services hundreds of thousands of open source developers and teams, with well over 1.5 million docs hosted on GitBook. After speaking to many of our customers, it's clear that documentation is a huge unsolved pain point for many technicals teams. And a hyper-critical one, especially given the shift towards remote work. Many of our customers switch from one-size-fits-all tools for their documentation needs, because they've learned that this simply does not work for technical teams. Others come to us after having poured tons of resources into building internal developer platforms. Both ways have cost these companies too much in developer time, cost and resources. That's what we're working on solving at GitBook. We're an out-of-the-box solution for knowledge management based on the powerful Git workflow. Documentation should be embedded into the tools and workflow that technical teams are already using. GitBook provides that one centralized place for documentation: from ideation all through customer-facing product documentation. Thanks so much for all your support and we can’t wait to see all the amazing documentation you create and publish on GitBook 3.0!

I feel GitBook is the easiest and professional way to document and publish. Such simple, clean and worry free solution. I was able to setup a new project, link a domain and publish, all with in half hour. Thank you and Goodluck.

We use GitBook for our open-source project datarhei, and it does what it promises. So we are excited about the new version.

Gitbook is such a nice product, marvellous example of creating really useful tool for the job!

Amazing product! We are using it for a while, moved from Vuepress (which is not bad at all in itself) and couldn't be happier

Great product -- always impressed with the SEO performances & ease of workflow management! Exciting to see the new feature updates, looking forward to trying the new content blocks.😃

We need more tools like this to help encourage building better documentation

It is an absolutely brilliant tool - very versatile, easy to use and it just makes you happy to achieve your goals with it.

I absolutely *love* the UI. Its simplicity makes the reading experience easy — and delightful. Definitely worth the try if you care about developer experience.

Been using GitBook for years and it keeps getting better. Great job on 3.0 and congrats on the launch 🚀🚀

We use gitbook editor and github sync tool to co-write the user manual of our project. It was nice to be able to co-author, merge, distribute, etc. within the provided tools, so I could focus on improving product features.

Gitbook makes my apps' doc clean, is super easy to use, and cheap. What else to ask? Highly recommended!

This has been my favorite tool to publish documentation without any headaches. It's been great so far and I'll keep using it over other documentation tools. Congrats on the launch :)

Thank you for the amazing tools!!

Managing documentation is such a huge headache. The new version of GitBook looks awesome!
