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:…

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,…

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, 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…
