What do you like best about Swimm?

I like the practice of keeping the documentation in sync with the code by marking relevant code lines inside special quotes.

Moreover, the CI ensures that if the marked line gets changed so the docs also have to be reviewed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Swimm?

Nothing! Awaiting upcoming new features! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Swimm solving and how is that benefiting you?

Integrate documentation updates into the CI cycle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
