Provide LLMs markdown documentation of libraries and frameworks
Hey HN! We realised that LLMs are great at generating code for super popular libraries like React. But they kinda suck at using less popular/newly released libraries, forcing us to stick to established tools and hindering innovation. There is already a standard for creating documentation for LLMs (llmstxt.org), but in my experience the implementations have not been great so far. `llms.txt` works as a good index of the available pages, but in many cases they link to HTML pages. This is a waste for LLMs to parse through (For example, Hono's [best…

In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey HN! We realised that LLMs are great at generating code for super popular libraries like React. But they kinda suck at using less popular/newly released libraries, forcing us to stick to established tools and hindering innovation. There is already a standard for creating documentation for LLMs (llmstxt.org), but in my experience the implementations have not been great so far. `llms.txt` works as a good index of the available pages, but in many cases they link to HTML pages. This is a waste for LLMs to parse through (For example, Hono's [best practices](https://hono.dev/docs/guides/best-practices) page is ~37k tokens, while its core content as Markdown is only ~1k tokens) To help with this, we built Atlas Docs, a service + MCP server that provides LLMs with clean, LLM-friendly documentation for various libraries. On the backend, it scrapes pages from documentation sites, processes them into standardized, clean markdown, and stores them into a database. It uses existing `llms.txt`, standardizes links, and crucially, generates a clean `llms.txt` index if the library doesn't provide one. The MCP server exposes the processed documentation via the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/). This lets LLMs list search and query the docs and retrieve the relevant pages in clean Markdown format. This gives LLMs the structured, concise context they need to generate better code and in our limited testing so far, it definitely improves success rate of working with less popular libraries. If you’re using LLMs for coding, give it a try! You can find instructions to install it with any client that supports MCPs (Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Claude Desktop etc). We're actively adding more libraries. Let me know what you'd like to see supported!

- LRLearning Rust by writing a Markdown to HTML compilerJul 2026 · andreadimatteo.com · ▲25
Hi HN, I'm new to Rust and, after half of `The Rust Programming Language` I decided to delve into a project I would actually use: a markdown to html compiler that actually serves my micro-blog (I started just right after publishing the project hehe). The project is intentionally small and one-file contained: I wanted to have the full picture in mind. I'm open to comments, suggestions and PRs. If you asked me more convincing arguments to "why did you do it?" rather than "to learn Rust" I would respond with: LLMs are effectively a new type of web users today and will be more and more present…

Have been getting tired of having wrong version api docs for building anything with LLMs, just wanted to curate all latest api docs in a single place and also let it be discoverable for others. It is integrated with firecrawl to pull any website data and make it available as md(markdown) file, yet to add bells and whistles or even guardrails to it. But hope you folks find it useful. I had previously built https://github.com/Amal-David/gitbook-downloader but whenever i tried to extend to other docs format, had to write a lot of code so just went with firecrawl for now.…

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.…
