Hi HN,

We’re Ruben, Afnan, and Theo, and we’re building Davia to make documenting and understanding codebases easier. Generating internal docs takes too long, diagrams are essential to grasp structure, and editable visuals are often missing from existing tools. Plus, most solutions aren’t open source.

Davia is an open source tool. Point it at your codebase, and it automatically generates an editable wiki. Text can be edited in a Notion-like editor, while diagrams live on whiteboards and are fully editable too. Everything can be explored and modified either in your IDE or in the editor.

The project is still early, and we’d love feedback, ideas, or experiences from anyone documenting code internally.
