Me llamo Daniel.</p> <p>Mientras me recuperaba del cáncer, quería enfocarme en construir algo con sentido, así que empecé a trabajar en una herramienta CLI para Spring Boot.</p> <p>El problema que tenía era este:</p> <p>Cuando recibo un proyecto Spring Boot, entenderlo lleva tiempo. Normalmente hay poca documentación, y es difícil hacerse una idea clara de cómo está estructurado todo.</p> <p>Así que construí una CLI que usa ingeniería inversa para analizar un proyecto y generar:</p> <ul> <li><p>documentación</p></li> <li><p>diagramas UML</p></li> <li><p>integración Swagger</p></li> <li><p>Javadoc</p></li> </ul> <p>El objetivo es entender rápidamente un proyecto existente sin tener que escarbar manualmente en todo el código.</p> <p>También hace otra cosa:</p> <p>Puedes empezar con una historia de usuario simple, generar un proyecto Spring Boot, e inmediatamente tener algo que puedas ejecutar y explorar.</p> <p>Para mí, esto se siente útil.</p> <p>Pero honestamente, no sé si esto es algo que otros desarrolladores realmente necesitan, o si solo está resolviendo mi propio problema.</p> <p>No estoy tratando de vender nada ahora mismo, solo quiero comentarios reales.</p> <p>Si alguien está dispuesto a probarlo, realmente me ayudaría:</p> <ul> <li><p>suscribirse (no se requiere tarjeta de crédito)</p></li> <li><p>descargar la CLI</p></li> <li><p>usar tu propia OpenAI clave API</p></li> <li><p>probarlo con un proyecto existente o generar uno nuevo</p></li> </ul> <p>👉 <a href="https://www.springbootai.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.springbootai.com</a></p> <p>Además, el inglés no es mi primer idioma, así que agradezco tu paciencia.</p> <p>Muchas gracias.</p> cli discuss showdev springboot SpringBootAI Mon, 06 Apr 2026 19:58:26 +0000
