    doXmind▲108

    Hi HN, I’m Steve, co-founder of doXmind. We built doXmind for people who want docs and AI, but not all of Notion. Notion is powerful, but if your main use case is writing, collaboration, and AI help inside documents, it can feel like more than you actually need. You end up inside a much bigger workspace of databases, templates, and project management features, when sometimes all you really want is a clean doc editor with strong AI built in. So we took a different approach. In doXmind, AI works directly in the document instead of living in a sidebar chat. It reads the structure of what you’re…

    I got tired of open file.docx → wait 8 seconds → close Word just to read a document, so I built a terminal-native Word viewer! What it does: * View `.docx` files directly in your terminal with (mostly) proper formatting * Tables actually look like tables (with Unicode borders!) * Nested lists work correctly with indentation * Full-text search with highlighting * Copy content straight to clipboard with `c` * Export to markdown/CSV/JSON Why I made this: Working on servers over SSH, I constantly hit Word docs I needed to check quickly. The existing solutions I'm aware of either strip…

    DeepDocs▲132

    In my 15+ years as a developer, one of the most frustrating problems I've seen across teams is outdated documentation. I’ll be honest, I skip it myself. You ship a feature and move on. Then a month later, someone is onboarding or debugging and runs into stale docs that no longer reflect the code. I tried fixing this with tools like Swagger and Sphinx-autodoc, but they only work for narrow use cases like OpenAPI or annotations. They don’t help with the high-level stuff like onboarding tutorials, SDK guides, or user-facing examples. You still have to keep things like docstrings in sync, and…

    Bibby AI ▲165

    Hi, Fellow researcher from Yale, I was frustrated with Overleaf and google docs not able to write and collaborate on documents the way I wanted to. I write my research in Latex but since Cursor came out, I thought this has to change, I'm wasting too much time and having mental fog all the time, kinda going through writer's block and hence I decided to create this latex writing assistant for myself but now used by a ton of researchers, I wanted your feedback, what you like, what you don't like, alternatives you've seen, what you would like to have, nice to have, you'd definitely pay to have,…

    As a developer, I absolutely despise writing documentation. That's why I've started building software that would make it a more bearable experience. Our current features include the following: - An AI assistant that lets you talk with your documentation. Ask questions like: How do I do thing X? What is the method for fetching a model from the database? And the AI assistant will answer. - Developers can choose their preferred way of writing: online WYSIWYG editor or writing to markdown files using their favorite editor and then synchronizing with the system via CLI. - Tagging relevant…

    Hi HN, Since 2019, I’ve been working on a writing platform designed for creating complex documents (e.g., theses). I personally use it for everything as it also allows to classify documents in categories so you can organize them efficiently. As of a few months ago, the app is also available in the browser, and you can now invite coworkers to collaborate on a document in real time. The app is somewhat inspired by LyX. It offers an intuitive, modern editor, but users don’t need to know any LaTeX. When it’s time to export, they can choose from a range of templates (IEEE paper, thesis, etc.). A…

    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:…

    Most AI tools generate text. Very few generate finished artifacts you can ship. I expected the hard part to be prompt engineering. It wasn't. The hard part is what happens after generation: enforcing structural invariants so the output is actually usable -- every section present, no "coming soon" placeholders, no layout that falls apart at export time. I ended up treating LLM output the way a compiler treats source code: intent goes in, validated artifacts come out, deterministic rules sit between the model and the user. Live at https://gixo.ai -- sample outputs on the homepage, no…
