I made a documentation tool for Jira projects

For the past 6 months, I’ve been building Docai, a tool to automate project documentation from Jira. As a dev, I’ve worked on too many projects where documentation was missing, outdated, or written too late. Most of the time, we had to dig through Jira tickets to understand what was built and why. It was painful. So I decided to fix that. Docai reads your Jira releases and generates clean, structured documentation automatically. Here’s what it does: - Generates documentation from Jira tickets (based on versions/releases) - Builds an incremental feature tree to follow the evolution of…

I made a documentation tool for Jira projects launched on April 22, 2025 with 5 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

Instantly generate comprehensive project documentation from JIRA releases Agile with AI. Simplify your workflows and create professional documentation in just one click.

Hey, I'm Fabien ✌️ 10 years of software development, countless lines of code, and one recurring nightmare: documentation. One week before departing, the team tasked a colleague with documenting three years of work. Predictably, it was too late. I struggled for weeks, solving this impossible puzzle. I finally gained a comprehensive understanding, then I sit down and write the documentation - something I absolutely despised because I was hired to write code. But I didn't want another colleague to suffer through the same nightmare. Afterward, our meetings became smoother. When we hired new team members, I could easily transfer project knowledge and move on to what reallyfrom docai.so

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
