Documentation is the bane of many developers' existence.
We love building features, but we hate writing about them. This leads to the "README Rot"—projects with outdated setup instructions, missing API endpoints, and zero context for new contributors.
I decided to stop fighting against the tide and started automating the process.
The Problem: Documentation as an Afterthought
Most READMEs are written at the end of a sprint (or never). They are often:
- Outdated: The code moves faster than the docs.
- Inconsistent: Every repo has a different structure.
- Ugly: Plain markdown without clear visual hierarchy.
The Solution: AI-Powered Analysis
I built Readme-O-Matic to handle the heavy lifting. Instead of staring at a blank .md file, you give it your repository URL (or paste your code), and it analyzes the structure, technologies, and entry points to generate a professional, high-conversion README.
Why it works:
- Context-Aware: It understands the difference between a Next.js app and a Python CLI.
- Premium Templates: Uses a standardized, high-quality structure that users actually want to read.
- Save Hours: Goes from 0 to 80% complete in seconds.
The Goal: "Self-Documenting" Ecosystems
Readme-O-Matic is just the first step. I'm working on a suite of tools (Hyper-Tools) that aim to make the "boring" parts of software development automatic.
Check it out and let me know: What's the one thing you ALWAYS forget to include in your README?
