In plain words

My Side Project - Docco as a Service is a documentation tool built on the Docco format. It generates annotated source code documentation by parsing code files and creating side-by-side views of code and comments. The service is designed for developers who want to automatically create readable documentation from their codebase without manual formatting. It works by extracting comments from source code and presenting them alongside the actual code, making documentation maintenance simpler and keeping it in sync with the code itself.

    I 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…

    Generate docs from your public repos2025 · app.docs.dev · ▲27

    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:…
