I Built a Tool That Turns Any Website Into Full Documentation in Minutes

We all know the drill — you ship a product, users love it, then someone asks: "Where are the docs?"

Writing documentation is one of those tasks every dev team knows they need to do but keeps pushing to "next sprint." I got tired of that cycle, so I built DocuPil.

What it does
You give it a URL. It crawls your site (up to 500 pages), analyzes the UI, navigation, and content — then generates structured documentation automatically:

Getting Started guides
API references
Tutorials & walkthroughs
FAQ sections
All in clean Markdown, ready to edit.

How it works
Paste your URL — DocuPil crawls and maps your entire site
AI generates docs — structured sections based on what it finds
Edit & publish — use the built-in Markdown editor, or export to PDF/Markdown
Features devs actually care about
🌍 16 languages — one-click translation
🤖 AI chat assistant — ask it to rewrite sections, add examples, or create new pages
🔍 Built-in search — published docs include full-text search out of the box
👥 Team collaboration — owner, editor, viewer roles
🎨 Custom branding — match your product's look and feel
⚡ One-click publishing — hosted docs with dark mode, syntax highlighting, and TOC
Pricing
Starter — $5/mo (3 projects, 100 pages/crawl)
Pro — $19/mo (10 projects, unlimited AI)
Business — $49/mo (unlimited everything + API + SSO)
Lifetime — €30 one-time per project
All plans include a 7-day free trial.

I'd love feedback from the dev community. What would make this more useful for your workflow?
