Slab’s Post

Anton Maximov and his team at Coast tried a lot of documentation tools before deciding on Slab. Google Docs — Without cross linking or an easy way to structure information, it was too hard to find information 😓 In-house tool/GitHub — As engineers, it made sense to try reading documentation as code in GitHub, but search was limited and there was too much friction in creating documentation 😬 Confluence — Considered, but when they couldn't import their Markdown pages and realized they'd have to build an importer or rewrite their docs, it was a no go 😫 And then a friend recommended Slab to Anton, and once he discovered he could import all their Markdown files directly, and it was easy to create, organize, and read documentation… well the rest is history 😉 ✨ https://lnkd.in/gvRX5_Ku

One of the biggest challenges of scaling: keeping everyone aligned. We asked Chris Wallis, founder of the growing cybersecurity company Intruder to share their journey. 🫠 When repeat questions began disrupting work, Intruder realized they needed a place for documentation and knowledge sharing to scale the company 💡 The team began using Slab because it was easy to use and filled the gap in their documentation needs 👏 The number of questions asked in Slack has decreased from 2-3 per day to fewer than one per week 📈 Slab has provided Intruder with transparency, discoverability, and alignment—while allowing them to scale with fewer interruptions Read the whole story:  https://lnkd.in/gmkMVf_9

Curri, the construction delivery platform, knows the importance of transparency and documentation. A few takeaways from our chat with Asif Ahmed, Director of Data: 📈 Scaling Requires Documentation — Documenting values, processes, and outcomes is vital for seamless scaling and a welcoming work environment ❓ Empowering Curiosity — Access to knowledge empowers team members to be more curious, ask questions, and offer insights 🌍 Remote Collaboration — As a fully remote company, Curri relies on Slab to increase exposure to ideas, eliminate silos, and foster connections across the organization https://lnkd.in/g4GfdXRF
