Hyde – An out-of-line C++ library documentation tool

A front-end to Jekyll that parses C++ sources to produce and enforce out-of-line documentation - adobe/hyde

Hyde – An out-of-line C++ library documentation tool launched on October 22, 2018 with 36 votes, #913 of 2,827 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 8 years on.

In plain words

Hyde is a C++ library documentation tool that operates outside the traditional documentation workflow. Designed for developers working with C++ libraries, it automates the generation and organization of documentation from source code. The tool stands out for its out-of-line approach, allowing documentation to be maintained separately from code while staying synchronized. Launched in 2018, Hyde is available as an open-source project on GitHub, making it accessible to developers seeking alternative documentation solutions for C++ projects.

    Hey HN, we’re Adi and Arnav. A few months ago, we hit a wall trying to get LLMs to answer questions over research papers and instruction manuals. Everything worked fine, until the answer lived inside an image or diagram embedded in the PDF. Even GPT‑4o flubbed it (we recently tried O3 with the same, and surprisingly it flubbed it too). Naive RAG pipelines just pulled in some text chunks and ignored the rest. We took an invention disclosure PDF (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ySzQgbNZkC5dPLtE3pnnVL2rW_9...) containing an IRR‑vs‑frequency graph and asked GPT “From…
