Launch of Documentation Hub
Feb. 24, 2026
Writing documentation is one of those tasks that's always important and always last on the list. It's not that developers don't care about docs. It's that after hours of building something, the last thing you want to do is switch from engineer mode to technical writer mode and explain it all from scratch.
So I built something to fix that.
What is Documentation Hub?
Documentation Hub is an AI-powered tool that automatically generates production-ready documentation for your GitHub repositories.
Connect your GitHub account, select a repo, and within seconds the AI analyzes your codebase and generates:
- A README.md - project overview, installation steps, usage examples, project structure
- A CONTRIBUTING.md - setup guide, PR process, code style guidelines
- /docs/ pages - architecture docs, API references, deployment guides
That's it. Three steps. No templates to fill in, no copy-pasting boilerplate, no writer's block.
The Problem With Docs (And Why It Actually Matters)
Bad documentation is expensive. Not in an obvious way - more in a slow, invisible way.
A new team member joins and spends three days reverse-engineering a pipeline because the README is empty. A potential open source contributor lands on your repo, can't figure out how to run it in under two minutes, and closes the tab. A client asks for your API reference and you have to write it on the spot in a Notion doc.
Good documentation is what separates a project that people can actually use from one that only you can run.
The problem has never been knowing this. It's always been finding the time and motivation to do it.
How It Works
Documentation Hub uses your actual code - not just the file names - to understand what your project does.
The AI reads your file structure, your existing code logic, any partial docs you've already written, and synthesizes it into coherent, readable documentation that sounds like a senior engineer wrote it. Not a generic template. Not lorem ipsum with your project name swapped in.
It also handles smart updates: if you already have a README, it enhances and expands it rather than overwriting your existing work. Your voice stays intact.
Private repos are fully supported via secure GitHub OAuth - the tool requests only read access to your repository, nothing more.
Plans
For solo developers the Starter tier is a no-brainer at under €5 a month. The Pro tier is where most professional developers and small teams will land - 100 runs a month covers most active repositories with room to spare.
Why I Built This
This project grew directly out of my own frustration as a data engineer.
I work with data pipelines daily. The code gets written and maintained. The docs... less so. I've spent hours onboarding people to pipelines that had no README, writing documentation for tools that I built myself six months earlier and half-forgot.
The pattern repeats across every team, every company, every open source project. The code exists. The docs don't.
I wanted a tool I would actually use myself - one that didn't require me to fill out a long form or adapt a template, but one that just read my code and explained it better than I would in the moment.
Documentation Hub is that tool. It's live, it works, and I use it.
Try It
Your repos deserve better docs.
