DeepDocs▲132In my 15+ years as a developer, one of the most frustrating problems I've seen across teams is outdated documentation.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…

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:…

I love vibe coding. I hate writing docs. Every time I shipped something fast with Cursor / Replit / Antigravity, docs became the bottleneck. GitBook felt heavy, manual writing felt dishonest (the code kept changing), and most AI doc tools wanted me to “explain” my own code. So I built a small tool that does the opposite: Connects to a repo Reads the code + structure Infers architecture, flows, APIs, and components Outputs GitBook-style documentation automatically This started as a personal hack while shipping a side project. The first version was rough (hallucinated edge cases,…
