An internal doc tool developers will actually keep updated

Problem

Developers have long hated Confluence for its heavy UI, templates, weak search, and disconnection from code, so nobody writes in it. The recurring community question of whether a wiki developers actually like exists has no good answer, and team knowledge ends up split between stale Confluence pages and scattered READMEs.

Solution

Start read-only: auto-extract changes from the repo, PR descriptions, and commit messages to generate a structured weekly changelog and per-service overview pages, with Git as the source of truth. Developers only add a sentence to existing Markdown, and the tool handles aggregation, indexing, and search.

Users

Engineering teams of 10–80, especially small companies on GitHub that are also forced to maintain Confluence

MVP

Read-only GitHub/GitLab connection; auto-generated per-service overview; commit and PR digest timeline; full-text search; optional Confluence/Notion export so teams don't have to migrate

Revenue

Per-seat subscription at $4–6/developer/month; free for public repos, paid for private ones

Why now

LLMs make automatic doc summarization from code cheap for the first time, and Confluence fatigue persists, while a read-only aggregator avoids the migration pitch that kills most doc startups
