Show HN: ReadMe Recipes
Heya HN!<p>I launched ReadMe here a few years ago as a Show HN (and even got the domain by randomly happening across someone giving it away here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=6397526), so I figured this was a good place to post our newest feature, ReadMe Recipes.<p>Here&#x27;s the link: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;readme.com&#x2F;recipes<p>Most API documentation focuses on Reference Guides, which have the information you need about an API... all the parameters, endpoints, headers, query params, etc. They&#x27;re really important! However, for a first-time user (or even someone more experienced), it&#x27;s like handing someone a dictionary and telling them to learn the language.<p>So, we built Recipes, which are interactive, use case-based code walkthroughs aimed at helping you get your users to solve specific problems. Recipes pair a common use case for your API or technical product with a snippet of code and then walk through the code explaining what everything does.<p>Rather than focus on GETs and PUTs and POSTs, Recipes makes it easy to help your users accomplish the actual tasks they&#x27;re looking to do.<p>Many of you here already use ReadMe, so it&#x27;s free with whatever plan you&#x27;re on. And if you don&#x27;t use ReadMe and your company has an API or other technical product, check us out :)<p>If you wanna chat, either comment here or my email is in my profile!<p>-Greg
