Ease of documentation on StopLight

What do you like best? Awesome UI/UX when creating new documentation on StopLight. Very easy to learn the tool and you can master it within a week or two. I liked the run on the go UI for any API call. What do you dislike? I felt that the tool is lacking a feature of applying a particular Security/ Path parameters to multiple requests at once like you can select multiple requests at once to feed the values of Security/ Path parameters using point and click. Recommendations to others ...

Smooth API development

What do you like best? Mocking endpoint Testing endpoints Documentation What do you dislike? there have been too many new versions. Personally - i still use app.stoplight.io - because i couldn't get comfortable with the new user interface. UI is bit un intuitive - can be worked upon better. A quick tutorial on the homepage would work wonders Recommendations to others considering the product: Strong dev evangelism needs to happen at Stoplight side. This product needs ...

Pretty good tool, completely fulfills my needs for API documentation

What do you like best? I like the phases in the publishing process: so be able to edit, save, but not publish if it is not finished. I like the extensive options in the editor - I still haven't found a use case that is not supported. What do you dislike? I don't like it that it seems a little bit too strict - so I don't know how to define freestyle web-socket communication. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We have documented an API ...
