Why We Document Everything (and Love BookStack for It)

Why We Document Everything (and Love BookStack for It)

At Hexacats, we move fast, but we don’t leave our brains (or our whiskers) behind.
That’s why we document just about everything.

From onboarding guides to deployment steps, we keep our technical processes organized in BookStack.


Why BookStack?

Because it works. It’s clean, easy to use, and makes finding information a breeze.
Honestly, it’s the closest thing we’ve found to a perfect digital lab notebook, without the fur and accidental keyboard naps.

Here’s what we love:

  • ✅ Fast, accurate search (even if you type like a cat walking across your keyboard)
  • ✅ Simple editing and structure
  • ✅ Easy to keep content updated, no hairballs, just clarity

You’ll notice that most (if not all) of our procedures live there.
We’re not fans of hunting through Slack threads or chasing down old notes like a laser pointer on the wall.

BookStack helps us stay focused, consistent, and only mildly chaotic.


Final Thoughts

No, this isn’t a paid ad. I just really appreciate when tools actually help.
And let's be honest , anything that saves time means more time for snacks and cat memes.

So next time someone on the team asks, “How do I…?” the answer is probably:

“Check BookStack (and pet the office cat while you’re at it).”

Stay pawsitive!
