Three AIs write the docs. The community picks the best one. The PR submits itself. Open source documentation has never been this easy — or this democratic.
ActiveRecord::Base.connection_pool manages a pool of database connections that can be shared among threads. It provides thread-safe checkout and checkin of connections...
The connection pool acts as a gatekeeper between your application and the database. Think of it as a checkout counter — threads borrow a connection, use it, and return it...
# ConnectionPool — Manages reusable database connections. Key methods: checkout, checkin, with_connection. Configure via pool size in database.yml...
Four simple steps from documentation gap to merged pull request.
An LLM scans the codebase and identifies areas with missing, outdated, or thin documentation — methods, guides, config options that need love.
Three independent LLMs each write their own version of the documentation. Different styles, different approaches, all covering the same gap.
The community reviews all three versions and votes for the one that's clearest, most helpful, and best reflects how they want docs to read.
Once a version hits the vote threshold, the system auto-generates and submits a pull request to the project. Documentation improved. No fork required.
Great code deserves great docs. But nobody wants to go through the hassle.
Tools like CodeTriage were a great start — they surface open issues and send daily emails. But they still drop you into the deep end of the traditional contribution workflow. DocsTown is fundamentally different.
We love what CodeTriage started. DocsTown picks up where manual contribution tools leave off.
Any open source project with documentation debt — which is basically all of them.
Thousands of methods across ActiveRecord, ActionPack, and ActionMailer with sparse or missing docs. The perfect candidate.
From React to Django to Phoenix — every open source project struggles with documentation debt. DocsTown is framework agnostic.
Small libraries often have zero docs beyond a README. DocsTown makes it trivially easy to give them the documentation they deserve.
