    I’ve been working on Code2Docs, an open-source CLI tool that helps developers automatically generate inline documentation (docstrings + comments) for Python code using AI. It’s built to solve a common problem I’ve faced (and seen often in teams): We code by "vibe" — fast iterations, minimal docs, and then forget what the logic was months later. Code2Docs helps bridge that gap by documenting as you go — without breaking your flow. Right now it supports function-level documentation. Planned features include: - README.md generation for projects - API endpoint docs - Database schema…

    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…
