Overview

Hermes is an innovative open-source document management system developed by HashiCorp, designed to enhance and streamline the writing and documentation process. Although it's still in the alpha stage and is not an official HashiCorp project, it aims to effectively scale documentation efforts for businesses. Hermes provides a structured setup that integrates seamlessly with Google Workspace, ensuring users can access documents wherever they are while maintaining a smooth workflow.

With the support of HashiCorp Labs, Hermes benefits from the expertise of a dedicated team committed to security and usability. Whether you're managing drafts, published documents, or organization-wide file access, Hermes promises to offer a robust solution for collaborative documentation.

Features

Google Workspace Integration: Seamlessly integrates with Google Workspace, allowing for the use of popular services like Google Docs, Drive, and Gmail.
OAuth Client Credentials: Provides easy setup of OAuth credentials for both web and desktop applications to ensure secure access to documents.
Organized File Structure: Utilizes a structured approach to document storage, including folders for "Shortcuts," "Documents," and "Drafts" to keep everything organized.
User-Friendly Navigation: The "Shortcuts" folder enhances the user experience by providing a visually appealing way to navigate documents, rather than sifting through a flat structure.
External Directory Sharing: Allows domain admins to enable external sharing for better user searchability and interaction within the Google Workspace domain.
Active Development: Continues to evolve under the stewardship of HashiCorp Labs, meaning users can expect regular updates and improvements.
Security-Focused: Although in early development, security remains a priority with prompt channels for reporting potential vulnerabilities.
