Show HN: I built a GitHub application that generates documentation automatically

Hi HN,

A lot of the dev teams I have worked with had a lot of issues with their documentation. In fact, some of my easiest clients to get were from clients that had "black box" solutions that devs no longer at the company had created. Personally, writing documentation is like grinding nails on a chalkboard.

I have been having a lot of fun with building solutions that can run in a distributed way, not something a dev needs to run themselves. And after a significant amount of testing and building out several different solutions, I finally have a solution that is easy to set up and runs in the background continuously to automate the documentation process.

I'm looking for feedback on a few things: - Ease of onboarding, it should be a simple click -> select repos you want to add. - Quality of documentation, our current free accounts have a standard model compared to premium but the concepts are the same. - Dynamic environments: I tried to make this compatible with any random repo thrown at it.

Let me know your thoughts
