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?

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:…
