DeveloperHub is a documentation tool to collaboratively write, publish, review, analyse and collect feedback on personalised customer-facing developer portals the modern way.
Hello Product Hunt 👋 We first launched 5 years ago on ProductHunt, but our product has tremendously changed since then! We believe that 5 years of being customer-led has allowed us to build a product that’s like no other on the market.
The documentation tools space has incredibly different tools with entirely different features - some people like to write docs in code in basic formats, some like to ship docs in Word/PDF format, some like to use overly complicated general tools… our offering is quite different: We merged the experience of the simple editing tools that developers use, with the advanced editing tools that technical writers love to empower everyone in multi-disciplinary teams to write the best product and API docs.
How do we do that:
📖 Specialised: We’re specialised in customer-facing product and API docs. Please don’t try to write a blog on it. Everything we create is for product and API docs - the editor is built for it, the blocks, the features, the customisations, the search… all of it.
📈 Analytics: You could write your docs on a flyer and send it all around town (that’s synonymous to PDF docs btw), but that really doesn’t tell you much about how useful it was. We provide native tools that allow you to measure if your docs are successful or not. Those include search analytics as well as customer feedback (of course Google Analytics is there too).
🗡️ We have a secret weapon: Single-sourcing . With Synced Blocks, you can write a piece of content once, and publish it in many pages. When you change the content in one place it changes in all places. It’s essential for every technical writer… it’s what functions are for developers.
🎨 Customisation: There’s no platform that’s customisable as ours. Seriously, edit the entire CSS - you can do that! Use JS to add buttons, move elements, create functionality - anything really!
🔎 Discoverability: If Google cannot find the content, then what’s the use of your docs being public? Our customers have seen +30% page views by moving their content from the most known docs tool to DeveloperHub - with 0 changes to content. We know SEO!
👩💻 Personalisation: Our docs are personalisable. Your users don’t need to jump around links to find their account IDs and API keys, it’s right there in the docs.
✏️ APIs: DeveloperHub is the only docs tool on the market with a visual API definitions editor. Our docs are tightly coupled with a gorgeous three-column layout API reference that powers an API playground for instant API testing. Don’t prefer using a visual editor? You can still push your API definitions directly when you generate them to our own API.
This is probably 5% of what we have to say... we’re a docs company, so everything’s in the docs if you want to find out more: https://docs.developerhub.io.
We’re so excited to see what gorgeous docs you’ll build with DeveloperHub! Happy to help whenever you need us. You can book your demo right from our landing page 🤙
We have used Developer Hub for the last few years, there isn't a better cloud-based authoring tool out there.
- REST APIs. Best renderer on the market, edits are easy with the integrated Apicurio Studio.
- Documentation. Creation and publishing is simple, supports draft mode and hidden links.
- All the bells and whistles. Single sourcing, Custom HTML, versioning, export/import etc.
Everything you need for a great documentation portal and more. The support is second to none.
Huge thumbs up for the project.
Been using it for years in the companies I worked for as a freelancer.
Extensive editor, possibility to write in markdown and best of all, possibility to add custom JS to provide highly dynamic content that we used to connect to our versioning backend for downloads. If something didn't work the support was there to help in no time. You can also import swagger api docs and also have the http api spec on the same platform. Also supports rich versioning, public/private versions, unpublished versions, custom domain for docs pages.
Simply a place where you can put all your docs and manage it with ease.
I have been using DeveloperHub.io for a while, and I'm really impressed with all the features it has to offer. The creation and publishing process is really simple, and it supports draft mode and versioning, so it's really easy to make changes and keep track of them. The single sourcing, custom HTML, versioning, and export/import capabilities are all really useful.
But what really stands out to me is the customer support. Zaid Daba'een is incredibly knowledgeable and always responds in a timely manner. He always provides simple, knowledgeable answers to my questions, regardless of how silly they may be.
I would highly recommend DeveloperHub.io to anyone looking for an easy-to-use content management system with lots of features and great customer support.
DeveloperHub has provided us with a fantastic, easy to use Documentation platform. We let the entire organization leave comments and review. The analytics and feedback helps us understand which pages need fixing. The MD support speeds up our overall doc writing velocity.
This is really neat and super timely. We've been looking at various options to (finally) publish our API docs and everything seems a bit too cumbersome to manage.
Will definitely take it for a spin this quarter. Great job team 👏
@stenpittet Happy to assist you whenever you need it Sten! Make sure to book a mind-blowing demo to fast-forward through what DeveloperHub can do for you (button at top of landing page)
@zaid_daba_een1 Do you have a self-serve version of the demos? I'm based in Australia and pretty booked up, so might not have the time to go through it.

I have been using DeveloperHub for the past 4 years, and have been seeing its metamorphosis from good to better, everyday.
It has been a good journey with DeveloperHub with features that support customisations on API, search, analytics, feedback integration, Custom HTML, export/import, CSS, versioning, and so on. The fairly recent features like single sourcing and developer documentations have been convenient and beneficial too. The flexibility of wide-scale customisations across UI and features, makes it one of the best cloud-based authoring tools in the market right now.
Both the tool and the support they provide are incredibly customer-centric, and simple to use/access. They offer solutions to multiple facets of a company's content strategies.
Special mention to Zaid Daba'een, who is available almost 24*7, to go an extra mile to help us.
