Team collaboration has improved and project tracking is clearer but downtime still causes disruption
I think there are some parts of Lark that have not been translated, and sometimes there is a glitch where the product still uses Chinese words. Lark occasionally experiences downtime, and during those times, we usually use WhatsApp for communication and coordination, which can be frustrating. Regarding Lark's AI capabilities, I believe they are good in terms of governance and security. I think there is still room for improvement regarding the accuracy and reliability of Lark's AI output.

Centralized API documentation has improved collaboration and reduces onboarding time
Overall, I have had a positive experience with ReadMe, but there are a few areas where I think it could improve. One is customization. While it is easy to create clean documentation, making deeper UI or layout customizations can be somewhat limiting without additional effort. Having more built-in customization options would help teams tailor the developer portal to their branding and documentation needs. I would also like to see more advanced analytics. It would be useful to have richer insights into which APIs are viewed most frequently, where developers spend the most time, and which document pages generate the most support requests. Those metrics could help us continuously improve our documentation. Another improvement would be the tighter integration with Git-based development workflows. While synchronizing documentation works well, making documentation updates, previews, and reviews even more seamless as part of the pull request process would improve the developer experience. All of these are not major issues. They are enhancements that would make an already solid platform even better. Overall, ReadMe has worked well for our API documentation needs. An additional improvement I would like to see is better support for documentation versioning and change tracking. In enterprise applications, APIs evolve over time, and having more intuitive tools to compare versions and clearly highlight changes would make it easier for both internal teams and external consumers to adopt new API versions. I would also appreciate more built-in collaboration features, such as richer review workflows or commenting capabilities for documentation changes before they are published. That would make it easier for developers, QA teams, and technical writers to review documentation together and keep it accurate. Other than those enhancements, I think ReadMe is an easy-to-use platform that has met our API documentation needs. I do not have any major concerns beyond the improvements I already mentioned.
