About These Docs
How we write docs
Our process for doc-writing as a team.
Who writes these docs?
Our CTO, Jeremy, writes most of the docs, especially the initial ones.
This ensures that we have not only a consistent styles but a coherent strategy for how we structure and write our documentation.
How does everyone else contribute?
Everyone else on the Embeddables team contributes in the following ways:
1. Feedback + Suggestions
- Giving feedback on docs.
- Suggesting what docs are needed / need expanding.
- Suggesting changes to the structure.
2. What they’re working on
- Notifying when they update or add a feature and the relevant docs need to be updated.
- This means that while product builders are not responsible for writing those docs, they are responsible for making sure that things they build always come with up-to-date docs - by asking Jeremy to write/update them.
3. Creating authored docs
- Writing an “authored doc”, which means we include the name and photo of who wrote the doc at the very top!
- This could be a text-based doc, or a Loom video, or (ideally) both.
- On something that they have a connection to (they built the feature / pioneered this use-case / built a great example / love this use-case or feature).
- The purpose of these is to reflect and celebrate the that fact that different authors will naturally write/record with their own voice. We have a wonderful range of backgrounds and personalities on the Embeddables team and are proud to give everyone (who wants it) a platform. ❤️
