I've been working in the product group (directly with the product manager) for a SaaS product for three years. The company was recently acquired, and I'm interested in expanding my skillset through a product development role with a smaller team.

Ask HN: Good examples of user guides?

I'm creating a user guide for a SaaS application. We've done the plain-old-PDF versions before. I want to do something different and better. Does anyone have any good examples I could use for inspiration?I know basic HTML/CSS and can figure stuff out, but I'm not a web developer so I'm not looking to build anything crazy.

It's nice to hear from others who share the desire to go the PM route.

I've only recently joined HN, but so far I've found it a valuable source of information and discussion. I've been working at a small startup on the product team (not as the PM) for 3 years. We were acquired in April and now I'm really interested in moving on and getting into a product management role, but I'm unsure of how to break into that "market."

My current location (Greensboro, NC) is probably part of the problem I'm having (I am open to moving). I joined HN to try to glean some intel on where to find PM opportunities and figure out what companies (especially the ones on HN) look for when hiring for those roles (programming ability? MBA required? etc.)

If you have found any good info to share, I'd love to hear.

I'm not a developer, but I do have the technical knowledge and understanding to work and communicate with developers.
