Hello 👋 I've been working on this for a while now, so you don't know how excited I am to share with you Vrite v0.2.0 here on PH, for the first time. 🤗 The best way to describe Vrite is a "developer content platform" - something between a CMS and a knowledge base - a versatile tool to create, manage, and publish your technical content. Use it in any way that suits you: - 🧑‍💻 as a headless CMS for your technical blog - 📕 as a great WYSIWYG editor for product docs in your GitHub repo - 🪄 as an internal tool to manage, search through, and chat with all your content (with some AI magic baked-in) For some highlights: ✅ Open and versatile Vrite is open-source and built with versatility in mind. You can integrate it into your existing workflow, with no worry of a lock-in. Self-host or use Vrite Cloud for convenience. ✅ Modern WYSIWYG technical content editor Vrite features a WYSIWYG editor designed specifically with technical writing in mind. It features a modern editing UI, Markdown support, a built-in code editor, and Prettier integration. ✅ GitHub integration Get started with Vrite in minutes by syncing content from your GitHub repo. Use existing transformers or create custom ones, to import/export content in any format you want. ✅ Kanban/list dashboard Easily manage content production with a built-in Kanban dashboard. You can also switch to other views - like the List view - that best accommodate your workflow. ✅ Semantic search with AI; Search through and chat with your entire content base, thanks to semantic search and AI. ✅ Real-time collaboration Collaborate in real-time, in the dashboard and the editor. Communicate with comments and control access via a powerful permission model. ✅ Easy publishing Easily publish your content to popular platforms like DEV, Hashnode, or Medium with only drag and drop, thanks to publication extensions. ✅ Powerful API Access pretty much all features of Vrite via its API. Build docs, blogs, and great user experiences with customizable JSON-based content, semantic search, and more!

Looks awesome and it's open-source. What would you say are your competitors?

@jsteneros From the documentation and knowledge base side, I'd say it's apps like GitBook and Confluence - both closed-source. On the other hand, I've worked in technical writing where larger teams used multiple apps - like Trello, Dropbox Paper, and WordPress - to manage their technical marketing blog. From this "CMS-like" side, Vrite has the potential to replace them all, being not necessarily better than each one of them separately, but providing a great, integrated experience.

@areknawo it looks really promising. Sent it to some dev colleagues and they where quite impressed.

@areknawo Do you have any plan to monetize the product?

@jsteneros Really glad to hear that! There are still many bugs to fix and features to add, but I think Vrite can become something truly special!

@jsteneros The Cloud offering will be the primary source of monetization once Vrite is out of Beta. It'll provide the best Vrite experience, that's scalable and includes all features of Vrite out-of-the-box. Of course, you can self-host it with all the features included, but the full setup is quite a bit of work to install and maintain.

This seems like a really powerful tool. What was your inspiration behind this?

@tt1517268 Primarly from my work in technical writing. I have seen how people struggle with managing multiple tools, all not really optimized for technical writing. From this starting point, I wanted to create something versatile that could not only be used as a CMS, but also as a knowledge base and documentation tool - essentially a platform to handle all sorts of technical writing needs.
