👋 Hey Product Hunt! Thank you @maccaw for hunting us a second time around! We owe so much to this community 🙏. We first launched Scribe (then called Scribe by Cursive) right here in June 2020. We had no idea what to expect or where it would take us; we just knew that we were solving a real problem we had faced as a team, and wanted to see if others felt the same way. The answer we heard from this community was a resounding YES (with lots of ideas on how we could make it better!). We took your comments and went back to building. We’ve been heads down for the last 15 months and now here we are — Over a year later, we’re so thrilled to take the wraps off of Scribe 2.0 and share it with you! We’ve invested so much in incorporating your feedback to make the new Scribe experience the easiest way to "share how." We built Scribe because we want everyone to be able to do, and share, their best work. Scribe makes it effortless to capture and share your know-how. At this point, Scribes have been shared hundreds of thousands of times. The median Scribe only takes only 54 seconds to create! Any time someone asks “how do I….?” - rather than writing out step-by-step instructions, taking screenshots, hopping on a zoom, or ignoring their question (😜), simply shoot them a Scribe. You all made this possible with your support and feedback on Scribe 1.0. We are SO excited to share Scribe 2.0 with you now. This is the foundation for our future, and we have big plans for what we will build next on top of it. We can’t wait to hear what you think.

@maccaw @jennifersmith6 Very intriguing! I will show this to my team! & Congrats!! 🚀
Amardeep Singh
@maccaw @jennifersmith6 Looks super cool. Is there an option for custom domains?
Tiffany Zhao
@singhamardeep not just yet - when you create a scribe we generate a unique link for it, and that link stays the same regardless of what updates you make to the scribe!
Amardeep Singh
Yes, that I understood. But other than providing support and knowledge to users, Tutorials and How To Guide also add real good SEO traffic. Using a link other than your own domain would be losing that benefit. Great product nonetheless. And I am sure, custom domains will surely happen some day. All the best. I created one test Scribe and it was smooth.

It’s been awesome to see the evolution of Scribe over the past year, and a pleasure to be hunting Scribe again. Scribe 2.0 has a sleek new look, introduces some thoughtful new features, and is even more intuitive to use. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Sharing what you know > keeping it to yourself. This is the fastest, easiest, and--dare I say it--most fun way of creating a how-to guide. Check it out.
Igor Lucic
Scribe is a fantastic documentation tool that greatly improves my productivity by allowing me to easily share my processes! The v2.0 is looking great!
Lindsey Bly
@igormats1 we couldn't agree more! Our team did an excellent job with 2.0!

Anna Filou
Wow, if Scribe works as advertised it’s gonna be the biggest time saver for service providers. 😍 I’ll need to make some how-to guides soon and wasn’t looking forward to the boring process, but now I look forward to it! Question for the ?makers: judging by the examples on your website, it seems like Scribe is more geared towards sending personalized how-to links on a case-by-case basis. Would it also be suited for making a bigger how-to guide with multiple sections? Also, is there a way to export the guides in PDF or something to share with others?
Aaron Podolny
@anna_0x Hi Anna — thanks for the questions! Yes, Scribes can be edited with multiple sections. We also have some features in the work to make combining related Scribes easier. More on that soon! In additional to shareable links, Scribe supports exporting to PDF, HTML, and Markdown. Do those seem like a good fit for your work?
Irina Seng
Great product! 👏 What do you think about Tango, they launched last week?

Very cool! Congrats on 2.0! Curious since we also live in the tool we’re building: what does the Scribe team use Scribe for the most?
