Shortcut is the best place for software teams to plan, manage, and document their work. Shortcut now enables your team's documentation to stay in sync with their work, all in one place. That way software teams can focus on building and not the tools.

Hey Hunters! Kurt here, CEO and co-founder of Shortcut, and we are thrilled to launch Shortcut 2.0 to the Product Hunt community. For those of you unfamiliar with Shortcut, we are a product development tool that helps software teams collaborate and build better software together. Since we started Shortcut in 2016, we’ve added hundreds of features and integrations to the platform and we now serve tens of thousands of software teams and hundreds of thousands of builders who are creating amazing things. Today, we’re launching Shortcut 2.0 with the rollout of our newest feature, Docs. In Shortcut, a Doc doesn’t live in some other tool that you have to context shift to in order to get any work done. A Doc is part of the fabric of Shortcut, it’s directly connected to the work that you do everyday and it’s integrated with everything that you do. Docs don’t wither and die once the work starts, they’re an integrated part of the workflow to keep everyone on the same page about the work being done. Over the last six years of building Shortcut, we’ve learned a ton from the thousands of teams that use it everyday, and we’ve written up the principles that we think make for the best way to build products. We call it The Shortcut Way and you can read it here. Docs is a big part of what we’re building out to support The Shortcut Way, but you’ll soon see deeper integrations with the tools that you use, more automations for your workflows, and richer Docs functionality coming very soon. I’d love to hear what you think of Shortcut 2.0 and The Shortcut Way (https://shortcut.com/way) in the comments below. Thank you to our community and customers for your feedback and support! (And of course, Shortcut is always free for teams of 10 or less, we'd be excited if you gave it a try today at https://shortcut.com/signup/)

Very helpful tool! Congratulations on the tool!

Thanks for turning this on for me, folks. This is pretty great. I was skeptical at first because it's Yet Another Tool™. Integration with mentions, stories, and epics makes it immediately valuable for design docs, product briefs, project notes, etc. I thought we would miss gdocs suggest/edit, but commenting in the sidebar is just fine. Google docs still has its place. I'm hoping this replaces the "description" field of epics and we can just embed or have our stories show up there. Will be good to see how integration with epics & stories matures "Create Story" from text is prob my favorite thing here because I'm using the doc to write out my requirements, then gherkin syntax, and can then highlight it and turn it into stories.

@justin_maxwell Thanks for the feedback here. More integrated features coming soon!

Congrats Kurt, this is awesome. I've seen docs all over the place which makes them hard to find, and creating a unified place for them is a great idea. I've also struggled with keep them up to date, but that seems to be naturally solved with your Shortcut when they are linked properly. One feature I've also been looking for with *some* docs is to create a periodic review mechanism. For example maybe a doc related to a feature needs review in 2 weeks (like a/b testing), or it is a policy that needs yearly review. Flagging those with reminders would be useful. Congratulations again, looks great.

@michele_m Thanks Michele. We have some designs for a status review flow that would start with Docs or Epics as the source of work being done that people would be able to update status on what's happening. I think that your idea of "this security doc needs to be reviewed every year" is a really awesome idea too. Bringing it back to the team here for discussion.
