Open-source tool to generate OpenAPI docs from your code
We built an open-source tool that scans your codebase and generates OpenAPI docs in minutes. Right now it supports Rails, Go, Python, and NodeJS frameworks, and we will keep adding more. It picks up routes, params, request bodies, and models directly from the code and outputs a clean OpenAPI spec you can drop into your workflow.

In plain words
This open-source tool automatically generates OpenAPI documentation by scanning codebases and extracting routes, parameters, request bodies, and data models directly from the code. It currently supports Rails, Go, Python, and NodeJS frameworks with plans to add more. The tool produces a clean, ready-to-use OpenAPI specification that developers can integrate into their existing workflows, eliminating the need to manually write API documentation.

Auto-generate an OpenAPI spec by listening to localhost2024 · github.com · ▲178Hey HN! We've developed OpenAPI AutoSpec, a tool for automatically generating OpenAPI specifications from localhost network traffic. It’s designed to simplify the creation of API documentation by just using your website or service, especially useful when you're pressed for time. Documenting endpoints one by one sucks. This project originated from us needing it at our past jobs when building 3rd-party integrations. It acts as a local server proxy that listens to your application’s HTTP traffic and automatically translates this into OpenAPI 3.0 specs, documenting endpoints, requests, and…

Talanoa▲340Hi 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…
