What benefits have you realized? We have documented ...

What do you like best? It is a very helpful tool to non-technical (business side user to formulate and structure API before it will be implemented I can document business context with API technical structure and generate easy to use API documentation from it. What do you dislike? There is no way to share API documentation draft only to the limited audience. Hosted doc pricing is not reasonable for small teams if it will be used only to agree on the API structure. And the Stoplight ...
