SSowle

Hosted for software teams

Pull requests for company knowledge

Sowle is a hosted workspace where official docs have versions. Meaningful changes go through a proposal: discuss, approve, merge. You do not install it. You sign up, invite the team, and treat runbooks the way you already treat code.

Free for small teams. No self-hosting required. Demo: maya@northwind.example / sowle-demo

Who it is for

Software teams of about 5 to 50 people who already review pull requests. First docs that pay off: deploy guides, onboarding, incident response, and security procedures.

Step 1

Someone notices a stale step

The deploy guide still says to SSH. That is wrong. They open a proposal with the new text and a reason.

Step 2

The team discusses it

Comments stay on the change. An admin or assigned reviewer approves. No silent overwrite.

Step 3

Merge creates vN+1

The official document updates. History shows what changed and why. You can diff any two versions.

Protected documents

Change only through a proposal. One approval from an admin or assigned reviewer, then merge. Use this for incident response, security, and anything people will follow under pressure.

Unprotected documents

Editors can quick-edit. That still creates a version and can include a short note. Use this for drafts and living notes that are not yet the official path.

Hosted, like GitHub

Sowle is multi-tenant SaaS. Create a workspace on sowle.co, invite people by email, and keep company knowledge in one place. V1 is not a self-hosted appliance and not a VPS shop.
