The problems technical writers face
Writing docs with screenshots is slow
You walk through the product, screenshot every step, paste into a doc, write descriptions, and format everything. A single article takes hours.
Docs get outdated fast
The product ships a new UI every sprint. Updating screenshots and rewriting steps for 50 articles feels like starting over.
Hard to keep formatting consistent
Different writers, different styles. Heading levels, screenshot sizes, step numbering — keeping it all consistent across hundreds of articles is a nightmare.
