When I started ReadMe, I tried to buy the domain developerhub.io to use as name... I was inspired by StatusPage.io. But alas, I couldn't get it and went with ReadMe.io instead :)

What do you see as the main differentiators of DH compared to ReadMe?

For the startup plan and using a custom domain, is it possible to enable https (let's encrypt)?

$39 a month for beautiful documentation, and once they finish API with Swagger support it is great value. I can see for open source projects that don't generate revenue the price being expensive, but as a SaaS business owner the pricing feels just right.

I wonder how this compares to docs written in VuePress? (https://vuepress.vuejs.org/guide/)

Looks great, but VuePress is just so simple.

SaaS-ifying your docs seems risky to me. Writing documentation is a big investment and startups tend to come and go ("it's been an incredible journey").

$39/mo is much more than what it costs to self-host Confluence, which for all its flaws at least leaves you in control of your data and is super extensible.

Improve the data portability story and it'd be a lot more attractive.

Additionally the actual docs and demo site are not loading in time from Australia. The `main.{digest}.js` file is reliably giving me a 15s download time (not TTFB, oddly) (http://i.imgur.com/ay6le8H.png), which causes the entire page to be blank. I have like a 300MS RTT to the server. Get a CDN and use it effectively.
