The problem
Documentation is the first thing a developer sees and the last thing a team wants to maintain.
Docs get written once at launch, then drift as the product ships around them, and the tooling makes it worse: static site generators need constant upkeep, hosted platforms fight the git workflow engineers already live in, and nobody owns the gap in between.
What I built
Docny closes the loop between the codebase and the docs that describe it. Docny Guardian reads a team's GitHub repository and generates documentation from what is actually there, so the starting point is never a blank page and updates track the code. Writers work in a browser-based WYSIWYG editor with real-time team collaboration, and readers get an embedded AI chat that answers questions against the docs instead of leaving them to search. Sites ship with custom domains and branding, a choice of templates, and analytics on what people are actually reading.
