Idea

Teams want to keep all documentation (meeting notes, feedback, strategy, TODOs) in version control instead of scattered SaaS tools. Build a Git-friendly documentation system that makes checking docs into code easier and leverages Git for collaboration and history.

Why this is interesting

The shift toward "docs as code" has real momentum — tools like Backstage and the broader platform engineering movement have normalized treating documentation with the same rigor as source code, and remote teams are visibly frustrated with context fragmented across Notion, Confluence, and Slack. The closest incumbent is Docusaurus for static docs or Obsidian with Git sync plugins, though neither is purpose-built for the full lifecycle of team documentation living inside a repo. The $1k–5k/mo revenue band is plausible only if it lands as a team tool with per-seat pricing, since individual developer adoption rarely converts to paid. The biggest risk is that the core workflow — writing Markdown and committing it — is already solved well enough by existing editors and Git itself, making it hard to justify why a dedicated product is needed over a convention and a README.
