Products that do what DocCharm – The help center that keeps itself up to date does
Hello HN! We were finding it too much work to keep our Zendesk help center up to date as our product kept changing, so I built DocCharm — it keeps a help center up to date automatically by watching PRs as they land in your GitHub repository. It suggests updates (with AI) to existing articles, or drafts entirely new ones if nothing appropriate exists yet. Everything goes into a review queue first, so a human always checks (and can optionally edit) before anything publishes. In practice this has proven to be a pretty slick workflow (in my opinion anyway, but not only!). We’ve been using it at…

Hi Hacker News! Shahar and Tal from Keep here. A few months ago, we introduced here at HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34806482) Keep as an “open source alerting CLI” and got some interesting feedback - mainly around UI, automation, and supporting more tools. We were VERY early back then, and we understood that although the current DX around creating alerts is not great, it's not that critical and developers don’t need another tool just for that. But we did find something else. While talking to developers and devops, we found that a lot of companies use many tools…

We've built this over the last few weeks to leverage vector search and LLMs (this is backed by GPT-3.5, though we're also testing Flan-T5) to answer question over large sets of documents with references. Currently, we've ingested the documentation for React and some key adjacent libraries (Redux, React-Redux, React-Router, MUI). This allows you to ask various natural language questions and the output is hopefully a relevant answer with code examples if applicable, while sourcing the original docs whenever possible. We're working on adding up more documentations and have more "general"…

Hello HN, I’m Andrew from docs.dev (https://docs.dev/), an AI powered docs assistant. With docs.dev you can generate your docs directly from your codebase, existing docs and other context sources. We don’t believe AI will replace technical writers—our goal is to make it easier for teams to get a solid first draft that they can review, edit, and improve. Think of it as a head start, not a finished product. More info on what we’ve built below but we wanted to release a quick, 1 minute, generate docs from your codebase tool. Try it out here:…

Hi HN, A lot of the dev teams I have worked with had a lot of issues with their documentation. In fact, some of my easiest clients to get were from clients that had "black box" solutions that devs no longer at the company had created. Personally, writing documentation is like grinding nails on a chalkboard. I have been having a lot of fun with building solutions that can run in a distributed way, not something a dev needs to run themselves. And after a significant amount of testing and building out several different solutions, I finally have a solution that is easy to set up and runs in the…

Hi guys! While working in teams, internal documentation is important. But the problem is, writing it takes much time. It doesn't end there, keeping them up-to-date is a big deal as well. I built this simple tool that analyzes your codebase and automatically generates documentation right into your Github repo. Whenever you make a new commit, it analyzes the updates and modifies the existing docs to keep them up-to-date. That means, you don't need to spend time struggling with docs again. And, the new hire won't stare at the senior for that huge undocumented codebase. It works for any team…

Hi HN, I'm Hemang from Clidey, and we are working on Docucod. Docucod is a tool that automatically generates and maintains documentation from any repository. * What is the problem? * My co-founder and I have both worked in large corporates like J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, smaller companies like Palantir, and continuously see the issues that stem from unmaintained documentation. Most codebases are under-documented, comments are sparsed, types aren't always obvious, and there's often a lot of knowledge that is forgotten as time goes on. The deeper you go, the harder it gets to understand how…

Hey we are launching Docs.dev, a full feature docs product that lets you host your developer docs on Cloudflare in a couple minutes. Why this exists: We don’t think every early stage startup should need to pay $300-$500 a month for beautiful docs, in fact every startup should just have beautiful human and agent ready docs ready to go. Additionally the workflow for docs is a lot different now in that Claude Code or Codex will generate 60-80% of the code, so why not have them update your docs as well. After they generate the docs, the missing piece is there will be some sentences, sections,…

Hello HN, I’ve built DocsBoard – a platform that aims to solve the chaos of project documentation. If you’re tired of searching for relevant documents, dealing with outdated information, or struggling with onboarding new team members, this might be for you. Works with Google Docs, spreadsheets, slides, PDFs, Markdown and more. How it works: • Create a new board for your team’s project. • Import your documents in the format you already have, without any conversions. • Drag-and-drop to easily organize documents into groups and keep track of them. • Invite your team members! Try it out and let…

I made EchoStash. If you’ve ever written a great prompt, used it once, and then couldn’t find it again — I’ve been there too. I kept losing my best prompts in chats, notes, or random documents. Every time I started a new project, I ended up rewriting the same stuff or wasting time trying to remember where I saved things. So I built EchoStash — a simple tool for developers who use AI tools regularly. It helps you save, organize, and reuse your prompts. You can tag them by project or tool, and when you need something, just search. The cool part? EchoStash has AI-powered search. You don’t need…

For the past 6 months, I’ve been building Docai, a tool to automate project documentation from Jira. As a dev, I’ve worked on too many projects where documentation was missing, outdated, or written too late. Most of the time, we had to dig through Jira tickets to understand what was built and why. It was painful. So I decided to fix that. Docai reads your Jira releases and generates clean, structured documentation automatically. Here’s what it does: - Generates documentation from Jira tickets (based on versions/releases) - Builds an incremental feature tree to follow the evolution of…

Hi HN, There’s a great engineering blog aggregation repo on github kilimchoi/engineering-blogs that I’ve used for a while. It’s an excellent resource, but it hasn’t been actively maintained in a few years — and many links have moved or broken. That made me wonder: why do most “awesome engineering blogs” lists eventually decay? So I built an open-source repo that aggregates engineering blogs and keeps itself updated automatically using GitHub Actions. On a schedule, it: > Checks blog sources for new posts > Detects broken or moved URLs > Validates links > Updates the index automatically…
