A code documentation tool built for devs

Hey Product Hunt — I’m Omer and I am one of the founders of Swimm, a documentation tool built for devs.

Code documentation has a bad reputation. You could say that one of the only constants in life (for devs, that is) is the lack of trust in internal documentation.

It’s a vicious cycle: you find a doc, it’s out of date, you start losing trust in the process, and repeat. Once this happens a few times, any trust you had disappears and you find yourself thinking why even bother documenting it in the first place?

Swimm is an internal documentation tool built by developers, for developers. We built Swimm so that developers everywhere can quickly understand code and contribute to it.

With Swimm, documentation is:

Easy to find in your IDE: find documentation when you need it, directly in your IDE, without interrupting developer workflows.

Always up to date: make sure documentation is always up to date – even as code evolves – so developers can trust it.

Easy to create: bring code into your documentation with content components (think: tokens, files/folder paths, code snippets) that interact directly with code and are automatically synchronized as changes are made.

We can’t wait for you to try Swimm and experience how documentation can “actually become something enjoyable and fun” (this is a quote from an early user!!)

Let us know if you have any questions,

Omer, Oren, Tom, Gilad & the team at Swimm.
