Writerside – a new technical writing environment from JetBrains
I wonder if JetBrains is going for the professional technical writer (TW) market outside of software development. Think aviation, military, manufacturing, etc. They seem to use paid writing suites quite a lot. MadCap Flare is a name you hear often. TW teams writing in B2C contexts often use these suites too.<p>JetBrains markets it as docs-as-code though, a concept that software-development-focused technical writers would care most about.<p>There is also the angle that a lot of engineers don't want to deal with any bullshit setting up a docs authoring env. If this tool makes it easier for them to contribute docs, I could see that as a way to get solid adoption.<p>The docs quality automation sounds interesting. Couldn't find a link that explains more. (I'm on mobile.)<p>(I've been a TW for ~10 years.)
