hdoc, the modern documentation tool for C++, is now open source

What it does

Today marks the beginning of a new chapter for hdoc as an open source project. hdoc is a modern documentation tool for C++ with the goal of helping developers create great documentation, painlessly. To accomplish this goal, hdoc automatically generates API documentation, puts Markdown pages alongside your documentation, and lets you search through your documentation interactively. Above all, hdoc is designed to produce great results with minimal configuration and hassle. Making hdoc open source reinforces our commitment to working with the community to improve the state of C++ software. Though everyone is now free to use hdoc as they please, we ask those that use hdoc for commercial…from hdoc.io

  I built a Cargo-like build tool for C/C++Apr 2026 · github.com · ▲177

  I love C and C++, but setting up projects can sometimes be a pain. Every time I wanted to start something new I'd spend the first hour writing CMakeLists.txt, figuring out find_package, copying boilerplate from my last project, and googling why my library isn't linking. By the time the project was actually set up I'd lost all momentum. So, I built Craft - a lightweight build and workflow tool for C and C++. Instead of writing CMake, your project configuration goes in a simple craft.toml: [project] name = "my_app" version = "0.1.0" language = "c" c_standard = 99 [build] type = "executable"…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi 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…
