DocIngest – Download and save documentation from any URL
Have been getting tired of having wrong version api docs for building anything with LLMs, just wanted to curate all latest api docs in a single place and also let it be discoverable for others. It is integrated with firecrawl to pull any website data and make it available as md(markdown) file, yet to add bells and whistles or even guardrails to it. But hope you folks find it useful. I had previously built https://github.com/Amal-David/gitbook-downloader but whenever i tried to extend to other docs format, had to write a lot of code so just went with firecrawl for now.…

/agent by Firecrawl Dec 2025 · firecrawl.dev · ▲569While building mendable - we found that feeding LLMs well-structured markdown improved accuracy. We also found it surprisingly hard. We found some great tools online, but none reliably handled the entire process. We wanted an API that took a URL, crawled the pages in the URL, and gave us an easy-to-use, up-to-date markdown we could feed into our index. So, we released an open-source repo and an API that crawls and turns entire websites into a markdown with just a few lines of code The API handles: - Crawling without consistent sitemaps - Infra to handle running many crawling jobs - Proxying,…

LLM-docs, software documentation intended for consumption by LLMs2025 · github.com · ▲28I was inspired by a recent tweet by Andrej Karpathy, as well as my own experience copying and pasting a bunch of html docs into Claude yesterday and bemoaning how long-winded and poorly formatted it was. I’m trying to decide if I should make it into a full-fledged service and completely automate the process of generating the distilled documentation. Problem is that it would cost a lot in API tokens and wouldn’t generate any revenue (plus it would have to be updated as documentation changes significantly). Maybe Anthropic wants to fund it as a public good? Let me know!
- RHReplace "hub" by "ingest" in GitHub URLs for a prompt-friendly extract2024 · gitingest.com · ▲185
Gitingest is a open-source micro dev-tool that I made over the last week. It turns any public Github repository into a text extract that you can give to your favourite LLM easily. Today I added this url trick to make it even easier to use! How I use it myself: - Quickly generate a README.md boilerplate for a project - Ask LLMs questions about an undocumented codebase It is still very much work in progress and I plan to add many more options (file size limits, exclude patterns..) and a public API I hope this tool can help you Your feedback is very valuable to help me prioritize And…
- IGI generated API documentation for all Java packages2024 · docland.io · ▲74
Hi HN! I'm excited to share a project I've been working on for the past year: Docland. It is an API documentation browser that generates documentation on demand (through compilation, not LLMs) for Java packages. Instead of relying on Javadoc, the built-in doc generator, I created the engine from scratch to give the documentations a modern look, build fast search indexes, and enable link resolution to other packages. I built Docland because I constantly found it frustrating to locate and view API definitions when programming. You'd have to Google the function/class name, skip all the SEO…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
