What is Document360?

Document360 ships collaborative editing and API v3 with OAuth 2.0 in back-to-back releases.

Document360 has shipped two major capability expansions in consecutive August releases: v12.8.2 introduced API v3 with OAuth 2.0 authentication and scoped API keys (the product's largest API overhaul to date), and v12.8.4 added real-time collaborative editing allowing multiple contributors to work on the same article simultaneously. The surrounding releases improved the AI assistant analytics layer (Eddy AI unanswered query tracking) and redesigned the navigation and publishing UX.

What is ReadMe?

ReadMe rebuilt itself around an MDX editor and docs-as-code GitHub sync

ReadMe has come through a ground-up rebuild. The product now centers on an MDX-backed editor with live preview, bi-directional GitHub sync, and the ability to build reusable interactive components (graphs, buttons, steppers) styled with Tailwind. The most recent posts are component-building tutorials, which signals the rebuilt platform is in the hands of users and being documented for real use.

Document360 vs ReadMe: editorial side-by-side

D7.5

Document360 ships collaborative editing and API v3 with OAuth 2.0 in back-to-back releases.

◆ Current state

Document360 has shipped two major capability expansions in consecutive August releases: v12.8.2 introduced API v3 with OAuth 2.0 authentication and scoped API keys (the product's largest API overhaul to date), and v12.8.4 added real-time collaborative editing allowing multiple contributors to work on the same article simultaneously. The surrounding releases improved the AI assistant analytics layer (Eddy AI unanswered query tracking) and redesigned the navigation and publishing UX.

◆ Where it's heading

Document360 is clearly targeting enterprise knowledge base teams: OAuth 2.0 on the API enables secure SSO-gated integrations, collaborative editing removes a key friction point for team-based documentation, and unanswered query analytics gives content managers data to prioritize gaps. The product is closing the gap to Confluence and Notion on collaboration and integration depth.

◆ Prediction

Expect role-based collaborative editing permissions (view-only, comment, edit) and API v3 expansion to cover content lifecycle endpoints — the OAuth infrastructure is the foundation for third-party workflow integrations.

ReadMe rebuilt itself around an MDX editor and docs-as-code GitHub sync

◆ Current state

ReadMe has come through a ground-up rebuild. The product now centers on an MDX-backed editor with live preview, bi-directional GitHub sync, and the ability to build reusable interactive components (graphs, buttons, steppers) styled with Tailwind. The most recent posts are component-building tutorials, which signals the rebuilt platform is in the hands of users and being documented for real use.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is unambiguous: ReadMe is moving from a hosted docs CMS toward a developer-native, code-first documentation platform. MDX plus GitHub sync makes docs behave like source, and custom components turn static reference pages into interactive surfaces. The progression from the 'Refactored' announcement to hands-on component guides shows the platform maturing from launch into adoption.

◆ Prediction

Expect ReadMe to keep building out the custom-component and docs-as-code story — more component primitives, deeper Git workflow support, and tooling that leans into the interactive-API-reference angle. The interview and explainer posts suggest a continued developer-experience marketing push alongside the feature work.
