As developers, we love to build. Code flows, bugs are squashed, features ship.
But ask us to document that project, and… well, suddenly it’s time to reorganize our desk or check Reddit.
Whether you're working solo or in a team, proper documentation is essential — not just for others, but for your future self. Yet writing it manually is time-consuming and often skipped in the crunch of delivery.
So let’s solve this with a bit of automation — and a touch of AI.
🤯 The Real Cost of Poor Documentation
Lack of documentation causes:
- Slower onboarding for new team members
- Repeated “how does this work again?” moments
- Loss of knowledge when contributors leave
- Increased bugs and maintenance costs
Yet the documentation always ends up being:
- Outdated
- Incomplete
- Or just… not written at all
You might already be using tools like Docusaurus or MkDocs. They're great — but they still require manual writing.
So, what if your documentation wrote itself?
🤖 The AI Approach: Local + Private + Fast
AI tools can summarize code, generate READMEs, and explain functions. But most of them:
- Run in the cloud
- Require uploading your entire codebase
- Cost a monthly fee
- May not preserve your privacy
That’s where a local-first AI doc generator becomes a game-changer.
Imagine:
Just drag-and-drop your repo into a folder and get complete, readable, AI-generated docs for your codebase. All offline, with zero data leaks.
