I built an AI tool that generates documentation for GitHub repos — Codec8
The README + API docs + Mermaid diagrams combo is exactly what devs need. Documentation is always the last thing updated, until it's automated. The PR creation feature is smart - keeping docs in sync with code changes is where most projects fall apart. One thing that could help adoption: when devs share their Codec8-generated docs (or the repo links), having polished social previews showing 'Auto-generated docs for [Project]' would make the output feel more professional. Most README links just show the repo name when shared on Slack/Discord. Curious about the Mermaid generation - is it inferring architecture from import statements and folder structure, or do you need code comments to guide it? More on reddit.com

Do you think we need an Automatic Code Documentation Generator, especially after Github Co-pilot?
I don't document what you can see in the code. I document why this is implemented in the way it is and what to expect from the api, you can't generate that with just the code. Generating documentation seems useless to me. Generating tests however is great as that only involves the code. I hope AI dont take Infinispan EventHandlers as an example of good documentation btw. How can you have documentation for Event and not tell how or when this event is created. /rant More on reddit.com

Is it worth it to auto-generate changelogs?
Certainly sounds useful. It’s very common to have pretty shit commit messages and wishful thinking to mandate that all messages should go in a change log... so... If you have follow a git-flow pattern, rebase and squash all commits on a feature branch, add a detailed comment then merge into a central branch. Generate the change log off that central branch. Edit: then just pretty up the formatting of “git log” and boom you’re done More on reddit.com

r/SideProject on Reddit: I built an AI tool that generates documentation for GitHub repos — Codec8
February 27, 2026 -

Hey r/SideProject!

After years of putting off documentation, I finally built something to automate it.

What is it?

Codec8 connects to your GitHub repos and auto-generates professional documentation in 30 seconds. Not generic templates — it reads your actual code and creates docs specific to your project.

What it generates:

- README with project overview, features, quick start

- API documentation for your endpoints

- Architecture diagrams using Mermaid

- Setup/installation guides

How it works:

  1. Sign in with GitHub (read-only access)

  2. Connect a repository

  3. Select what docs you need

  4. Get results in ~30 seconds

  5. Edit, export, or create a PR

The boring business stuff:

- Free tier: 1 repo

- Lifetime deal: $99 (no subscriptions!)

- Built with SvelteKit + Supabase

Why I built it:

I maintain a few projects and the documentation was always the last thing I updated. Spent a weekend writing docs and thought "there has to be a better way."

Would love to hear what you think! Happy to answer any questions or generate docs for your projects.
