Title: Anyone know of good support software?
Post by: ober on February 28, 2017, 08:30:28 AM
So I have a client that I built an application for and now they want a support feature so people can get help and we can also post a bunch of documentation/help articles.  Does anyone know of a good open source or even paid solution that I can embed in another application?  I would even consider a standalone option that could sit outside the core application that I wrote.

We started looking at https://www.uservoice.com/ at work but didn't get too far with it.  It was a feedback and document search JS app that looked really interesting.

Eh, that's not really what I'm looking for.  The support aspect is secondary, really.  What I'm trying to avoid doing is building a wiki/LMS portion for the content management.  I probably should have stated that first.  I don't know, maybe it's too much of a hassle for the people that need to manage this thing to handle a second set of credentials and whatnot.  I guess I'll just have to build it.

Slack channel or some kind of Q/A site like StackExchange would be my suggestion and then you can have some people that work there (or yourself) answer some of the common questions. The Q/A forum would probably be better for offline support.
