About Us

Welcome to our cheatsheet revolution! We're excited to introduce you to a cheatsheet solution that was born out of a need for simplicity, flexibility, and accessibility. Our website, created in 2019 by Luiz, was born from the frustration of struggling with various tools and their limitations.

Our Technology Stack​

We're proud to share the technology stack that powers our platform, ensuring that you have the best cheatsheet experience possible.

  • Platform: Our website is powered by Docusaurus, a modern static website generator. Docusaurus provides a solid foundation for delivering content quickly and efficiently.

  • Fast and Scalable: To ensure lightning-fast performance, we utilize Cloudflare as our Content Delivery Network (CDN). With Cloudflare, we cache content on edge locations worldwide, making your access to cheatsheets even faster.

  • Comprehensive Search: We've partnered with Algolia to provide you with a robust and comprehensive search experience. Easily find the cheatsheets you need, even in a vast collection.

  • Versioning and Contribution: Our platform is tightly integrated with GitLab, serving as the backbone for version control, hosting, collaboration, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD). With GitLab, you can effortlessly track changes, collaborate with fellow users through issues and merge requests, and ensure you always have access to the most up-to-date versions of your cheatsheets via GitLab Pages.

  • Commenting and Collaboration: Our vision extends beyond just cheatsheets. We aspire to build a vibrant community where users can collaborate seamlessly. In the near future, you'll have the ability to comment on shared cheatsheets and engage in discussions with others, fostering a sense of collaboration and knowledge sharing. We achieve this through Disqus, a powerful commenting platform that makes your cheatsheets a part of a larger conversation.

  • Monitoring: Ensuring our platform's availability is crucial. We use Pingdom to monitor the availability of our website, ensuring that you can access your cheatsheets when you need them.

  • Communication: We're committed to fostering a strong community of users. To facilitate communication, we've integrated a Slack organization that connects with GitLab, Pingdom, and other essential services. This Slack organization serves as a communication channel where you can interact with other users, ask questions, share feedback, and stay updated on platform updates and announcements.

Our Story​

The journey began with a simple question: How can we make cheatsheet creation and access easier and more efficient? It was recognized that there was a need for a better way to organize information without the hassles and limitations imposed by existing platforms.

The Frustration​

Before our website came into existence, various tools and platforms were tried, each with its own set of frustrations:

  • Evernote / OneNote / MediaWiki / DokuWiki: Frustration of vendor lock-in and on-going subscription and/or hosting costs.

  • GitHub / Bitbucket: The main issues were the search capabilities and limited mobile support.

  • OneDrive / Google Drive / DropBox: Great for file storage, but not ideal for organizing and searching notes effectively.

  • Jekyll / Hugo / Wordpress / Drupal: Finding an appropriate theme focused on documentation was not an easy task, hindering the ability to create an effective cheatsheet platform.

These attempts highlighted the need for a more tailored solution that met specific requirements.

Our Vision​

Our vision for this website was clear from the start:

  • Easy Access: Access your cheatsheets seamlessly from any device, be it a mobile phone or a PC.

  • Speed: A fast and responsive platform that doesn't keep you waiting.

  • Searchable: Quickly find what you're looking for with robust search capabilities.

  • No Vendor Lock-In: Freedom to use our service without worrying about being tied to a specific ecosystem.

  • Versioned: Maintain a history of your cheatsheets to track changes and revisions.

  • Easy to Share: Share your cheatsheets with colleagues, friends, or family members with ease.

  • Low Maintenance: Minimal upkeep required, so you can focus on your cheatsheets, not server maintenance.

  • No Ongoing Cost: Enjoy our service without the burden of recurring fees.
