ShipDocs.sh

Devs ship it. Nobody else gets it. We fix that. | AI docs for your whole team |

[ShipDocs.sh @shipdocs_]

Your codebase has a story.

Nobody on your team can read it.

ShipDocs fixes that.

Point at any repo → AI scans everything → docs your whole team can read and chat with.

Free plan available. No credit card needed.
→ https://t.co/vy2gj0qDkO 🚢

7/ Free forever: 1 repo, full docs, 50 chat messages/month.

Founding pricing is still open — lock in 20% off for life.

Connect a repo. Docs in ~2 minutes.

6/ Why teams pick ShipDocs over CodeWiki:

✓ Private repos (today, not “coming soon”)
✓ AES-256-GCM encryption
✓ Chat that cites real file paths
✓ Docs you own as Markdown

Google’s tool is public-only. Your product isn’t.

[Alex Sofroniev @alexsofroniev]

5/ Fresh guides on API docs, living documentation, private repos, and more:

Built for devs who’d rather ship than write wikis.

[Alex Sofroniev @alexsofroniev]

4/ Every project you import on ShipDocs now gets its own architecture diagram.

Same module names as your docs sidebar.
Unused components flagged in red.

Onboarding goes from “read 400 files” to “follow the map.”

[Alex Sofroniev @alexsofroniev]

3/ We just shipped a free Architecture Diagram tool.

Paste a public repo URL. Get a clean layered map.

No signup. No credit card.

Try it: https://t.co/CwRHAgN6dL

(Liked it? Sign up to map your entire private repo.)

[Alex Sofroniev @alexsofroniev]

2/ Stop paying the “what does this do?” tax.

Every unanswered question costs you focus, velocity, and onboarding time.

ShipDocs reads your repo and ships:

→ Per-component docs
→ AI chat with citations
→ Architecture diagrams that match the code

One link. Whole team aligned.

[Alex Sofroniev @alexsofroniev]

1/ Your repo has docs somewhere.

README. Notion. A Slack thread from 2023.

None of it matches the code anymore.

ShipDocs turns any codebase into docs your team can actually trust — in minutes, not sprints.

1.Still writing docs manually?

There's a tool for that.

@shipdocs_ scans your private repos and generates structured docs your whole team can read and chat with. Automatically.

1/ I spent the last hour testing Google CodeWiki.

Everyone's talking about it.
Nobody's actually used it.

Here's what I found. 🧵

[Alex Sofroniev @alexsofroniev]

Tried CodeWiki today.

Turns out you can't even import a public repo and get docs instantly.

They have pre-generated docs for select repos only.

Want yours? Submit a request. Then wait. No timeline. No ETA. Just… wait.

@shipdocs_ takes 2 minutes. Any repo. Any size. Right now.

[Alex Sofroniev @alexsofroniev]

@shipdocs_ is growing steadily 🚢

But my favorite moment this week wasn't a signup.

Last night a user hit a bug and reported it through the app.

30 minutes later:
→ Bug identified
→ Fix pushed
→ User personally informed

That's the advantage of building something yourself.

No tickets. No sprints. No waiting.

Just ship the fix.

That's why I built @shipdocs_ as the next step for this exact workflow.

ShipDocs is the "parent version" that handles everything CodeWiki does PLUS:

✅ Private repos from GitHub, Gitlab, CLI & zip files with FULL E2EE
✅ Upgraded AI-powered documentation generation based on modules + the ability to edit/export the generated docs
✅ Already helping 151 developers daily navigate their private codebases

As someone who doesn't trust Google I think that this tool will help my fellow developers. 😄

https://t.co/PlqTvBMQKK

Would love to hear what you think after you've tried it!

[Alex Sofroniev @alexsofroniev]

This is an amazing solution for public repos! I actually built @shipdocs_ as the next step for this exact workflow.

While CodeWiki is incredible for open source, I kept hitting the same wall - what about all our private repos? That's why I created the "parent version" that handles everything CodeWiki does PLUS:

✅ Private repos from GitHub, Gitlab, CLI & zip files
✅ Upgraded AI-powered documentation generation based on modules + the ability to edit/export the generated docs
✅ End-to-end encryption (I never see anyone's repo)
✅ Already helping 151 developers daily navigate their private codebases

Google's been amazing, but they haven't added private repo support in 6 months... and I was too impatient to wait! 😄

[Alex Sofroniev @alexsofroniev]

Interesting timing.

I've been building @shipdocs_ for months — AI docs from private repos, chat with your codebase, CLI in one curl command.

Google just launched the exact same thing for public repos and put private repos on a waitlist.

I don't have Google's budget.
But I shipped private repos first. 🚢
→ https://t.co/PlqTvBMQKK

[Alex Sofroniev @alexsofroniev]

I'm a solo dev who built @shipdocs_, AI that scans private repos and generates docs your whole team can read and chat with.

I just found out that Google launched Code Wiki on November 13, 2025

Same concept. Public repos only.
7 months later... Private repos? "Coming soon."

I shipped private repos first. As a solo developer.

@marclou already knows this feeling, he built https://t.co/n7SBWD6BZU, which @shipdocs_ actually uses for analytics, competing directly with Google Analytics as a solo builder.

The indie hacker community moves faster than Google.

We always have!

@marclou @levelsio @tibo_maker - you've each shown that solo builders can out-ship giants.

I'm trying to do the same thing.

I'd be genuinely honored to have your support on this, however that looks. My DMs are open if you have any ideas.

As a thank you: lifetime Pro access for each of you + a permanent founding ambassador spot on https://t.co/PlqTvBMiVc

May the better tool win 🏆

[Alex Sofroniev @alexsofroniev]

Google validated our entire thesis with Code Wiki.

But here's what they don't have yet:
✗ Private repo support
✗ Non-technical team access
✗ CLI that works in seconds

@shipdocs_ 🚢 has all of it. TODAY.

Founding pricing closes at 500 members → https://t.co/4szFZYwF27

[ShipDocs.sh @shipdocs_]

The war is on ⚔️

[Alex Sofroniev @alexsofroniev]

Google just launched Code Wiki.

AI-generated docs from any public repo. Gemini-powered chat. Architecture diagrams.

Sound familiar? 👀

The difference: it only works on PUBLIC repos. Private repos? "Coming soon."

@shipdocs_ works on your private repos. Right now. No waitlist.

→ https://t.co/PlqTvBMiVc

[ShipDocs.sh @shipdocs_]

Your senior devs shouldn't be your documentation system.

Point @shipdocs_ at any repo → AI generates structured docs your whole team can read and chat with.
