Stenography

Finally. Automatic Documentation.

Visit Stenography

Stenography is a tool that automatically generates documentation for codebases. It works as a VS Code extension that documents code every time you save, and also provides an API that accepts code and returns explanations in plain English. Responses can include Stack Overflow suggestions and linked documentation. The tool uses a passthrough API and does not store code, keeping it on the user's system. It offers 250 free monthly API invocations.
