Products that do what Dory – A Simple Static Site Generator for MDX Docs does
I'm Hemang, co-founder of Clidey. While building Docucod – our platform for generating and maintaining technical documentation – we needed a simple, fast, and flexible way to host the docs. We started with Next.js + Vercel, but it felt like overkill. SSR wasn’t needed, and we ran into vague webhook errors and deployment issues. It felt like too much complexity for a static documentation site. So we built Dory – a minimal static site generator optimized for technical documentation. It's built with Preact, Vite, Tailwind, FontAwesome, Mermaid, and Typescript. What makes Dory work for us: •…

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…

Hi HN, This one's a twofer. First, I'm showing off my personal site and blog, garrettgoss.com [1]. I'm looking to make a career change — from biomedical engineering/biomedical research, to research and development engineering in the consumer product development/additive manufacturing space — and felt that my prior work experience inadequately reflected my true interests and skills, which are better exemplified by my side projects. I put this together for myself, to better document my own work, for the broader internet, to share some of the projects I've developed to those who might…

`pandoc-sitegen` uses pandoc and mustache templating to turn a bunch of markdown files into a minimalist site, while still allowing for things like an automatic list of blog posts. I was really frustrated with the complexity of most existing static site generators like Jekyll and Hugo -- it seemed like even a basic blog required an immense amount of configuration and provided tons of features I didn't need. I built this mostly for myself, but I'd love any feedback on it :)

Happy New Year HN! I’m the co-creator of Orbiter, a dead simple tool for uploading and hosting static sites. We built Orbiter for ourselves and realized it would probably be useful for others. Static site content is some of the simplest on the web, yet hosting this content has gotten increasingly complex over time. Many of you are engineers and don’t have much problem with CI/CD pipelines as a mechanism for deploying a website. This is true for me as well. But there are times when I want to just upload a simple website. I might not even want to put it under source control. And I know…

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,…

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…
