In this story, Eric Brownrout, co-founder and CEO of Frigade, shares his obsession with developer experience, the importance of great documentation for adoption, and why they chose Mintlify to build state-of-the-art documentation.

Developer experience as a first principle

“Frigade is a platform for building better product onboarding, and our developer documentation plays a huge role in our own product onboarding.

“Our documentation helps developers get started and reach the Aha moment in 10 minutes or less. Then, they can dive deeper and learn more advanced concepts over time as needed.

— Eric Brownrout, Co-founder & CEO

Finding the state-of-the-art documentation tool

“When we started Frigade, we knew we didn't want to build and maintain our own docs from scratch. However, we were surprised at the state of developer documentation. Most of the tools we found were ugly and disappointing.

“We spend a lot of time and effort on the design and ease of use of Frigade, and we wanted our documentation to reflect that.

“When we discovered Mintlify, it immediately clicked that this was the right tool for the job. The Mintlify team sweats the details and their platform helped us quickly get our docs live and at the quality level we needed.

“Since then, Mintlify has made it easy for the team to learn, make updates and ship new versions on our own.

Mintlify is easy-to-use and allows us to build well-designed developer documentation.
