Review on Hitman by Chris Shepherd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Quickly document services - great tool!

I like that it's simple to use, easy to understand, has many features that are helpful in writing REST APIs. The UI can be improved by adding more icons and colors so they're easier to see at first glance. It is not clear how you would add new routes or endpoints to your service without creating an entirely separate application/service from hitman itself. You have to do this manually which isn't intuitive when using a web console as opposed to something natively integrated with your codebase. Also, there doesn't seem to be any way to share what was shared between users of the platform. We've been able to create documentation faster than we could previously write them out ourselves. I like that it's easy to use, and has a lot of features. It works well with other tools such as GitHub and JIRA. The UI is not very intuitive, but once you get used to it, you can do anything you need to do. I think there are some missing features, as well as some bugs. But they're working on them. We've been using this for a few months now, and we haven't had any problems. We have been able to create documentation in less than 15 minutes.
