Welcome to RFC Hub
Hello! I'm Thomas, a software engineer passionate about creating web apps. I've worked at startups, Fortune 50 enterprises, and everything in between. No matter where I worked I kept encountering the same issues: it is hard to track the lifecycle of technical documentation.
Sure, there was always generic tools for managing text. Google Docs, Confluence, Notion, you name it. While they all had pretty text editing capabilities they all left something to be desired.
- What docs are currently waiting for my review?
- How do I know if a service that I want to build already exists?
- Which docs should I be reviewing that I don't even know about?
- Why was the spec allowed to change after I started writing code?
- What is the simple, canonical name for a given proposal document?
- What changed since the last time I commented on the document?
For over a decade I've wanted a tool to manage the lifecycle of Request For Comment (RFC) and Technical Design Doc (TDD) documents. RFC Hub aims to be this tool.
