Hi,

I think you are right that popcorn could really thrive in this space, and
to be honest I am not sure I have found any examples of this in the wild. I
think that for the most part the lack of examples in the tech writing scene
is because tech blogs probably want to support as many browsers as possible
and sadly some of those browsers do not support popcorn.

Can you explain exactly what you mean by "technical documentation" ?
