Continuous Documentation To End Documentation Rot
We build a Notion-like documentation tool that integrates with GitHub to enforce documentation updates before code changes go live. Our product blocks code deployments unless relevant documentation is updated and approved, preventing documentation rot and ensuring docs stay current with the codebase.
We live and operate out of Bengaluru, KA, India, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
Our founding team is fully based in Bengaluru. This location lets us move quickly with a focused engineering team and build a product tightly integrated with developer workflows around GitHub, which is globally used.
