Get actionable insights to increase LLM visibility, free signups and activated users through your developer documentation. Based on 120+ top devtool docs.
@addisonschultz That report helped me quite a lot to find the right angles for the audit, indeed! It's one of the best resources on the topic.
I also met one the GitBook co-founders some weeks ago and that helped me refine some approaches.

Good job here guys! Congrats :)

Documentation-as-growth-channel is an underrated insight. For devtools in regulated industries (compliance, fintech, etc.), docs serve dual purposes: user onboarding AND audit evidence.
Curious if you've analyzed how documentation strategies differ between public devtools vs. tools used internally in regulated enterprises?

I've used GitBook, ReadMe, and Mintlify across different projects and none of them ever told me whether the docs actually converted. They compete on rendering and search. Nakora benchmarking against 120+ devtool docs and surfacing where signups drop off is a different game entirely. And the LLM visibility angle is timely. If your docs are poorly structured, Cursor and ChatGPT will quietly recommend your competitor instead. That feedback loop is invisible until someone measures it.

Awesome! Looks like a lot of the same findings we saw at GitBook with the State of Docs report: https://www.stateofdocs.com/
