THE REASON

Why I built it.

Documentation is usually the last thing a project gets. A repository already contains the evidence for a useful first draft; the missing piece is turning it into something a human wants to read.

What’s inside

Repository-driven documentation
Architecture and setup overviews
Screenshot checklists and badge suggestions
Portfolio-ready project descriptions
UNDER THE HOOD

Small pieces. Clear boundaries.

01

Interface

Next.js and React provide the repository and document workflow.

02

Documents

Markdown rendering and diff views support reviewing generated content.

03

Persistence

SQLite stores application data locally.
