GitBook Pros and Cons

What I like best about GitBook is the intuitive user interface, which makes it easy to create, organize, and publish content. The ability to collaborate with team members in real-time enhances efficiency and improves the quality of documentation. I particularly appreciate the integration with other tools as well as the quick and helpful responses from the support team – especially the personal and professional support from Rodrigo.

What I don't like so much about GitBook is the limited flexibility in customizing the design and layouts. It would be helpful to have more options for individual customization. Additionally, the loading times could sometimes be faster, especially with larger projects. Occasionally, advanced export functions are also lacking, which would allow for smooth transfer of content to other formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GitBook allows me to easily publish an online book describing an artistic project based on GitHub. As an artist using the power of Git code repositories, GitBook provides me with a unique platform that is transparent, responsive and Git-reliant. It also integrates external sources of creative work, such as Instagram and other popular media platforms. Its pagination feature and Markdown pages make my task of writing and presenting Git-based code quite enjoyable. This is why I chose it as the platform for publishing a book documenting my artistic practice, as is common in the traditional art world. I'm currently a beneficiary of their community plan, which supports my open source project in the best possible way. Their customer support is first class. All my support requests have been successfully resolved within a few days. It took me a few hours to get a book up and running : book.awalkaday.art. The book's underlying code is automatically synchronised with a public code repository on GitHub. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is no cumbersome experience when using the GitBook app online. It's available in an international language that is the lingua franca of the web. It's free to use and free to access. However, it does require some familiarity with Git (version control software). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gitbook has a great suite of rich text features for creating documentation - keeping it basic and the available styles look very elegant. The limited adaptability is a positive because it allows options, while also keeping things simple. We recently used it for an initiative where our partners were very satisfied with the results and the ability to use it for an event as supporting materials. It was very easy to implement.

I felt slightly disoriented relating to navigation at times, but once the support team helped me with how the functionality is structured, it was easy to get around. There were a few technical glitches, but the support team is extremely responsive and working on any glitches that might arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's fantastic that I can update my documentation through their slick WYSIWYG editor or the raw Markup in my GitHub repos - and it syncs right up within a few seconds! I love the default layout. It is very clean and easy to navigate between pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
