Automated README and documentation generators

This cluster consists of web, desktop, and hosted tools that automatically generate or update documentation—especially README files—from code repositories and git history, often using AI. The dated history prior to the index start shows entries in July 2025 (3), February 2026 (2), and April 2026 (1), with July 2025 being the most active month. In terms of traction, ReadmeGenAI and Broken-Link-Website lead with 117 and 110 stars respectively, while the desktop app has only 3 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 20 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
