Could you build this?
Partial The GitHub integration, LLM doc generation, and publishing site are buildable, but generating accurate docs from arbitrary codebases and capturing reliable screenshots from running apps is hard.
What it would actually take: The stack would combine GitHub webhooks, code-indexing and LLM pipelines for drafting articles, and a headless browser (such as Playwright) to capture screenshots from a running app. A hosted help-center site and a diff-based update system round it out. The hard parts are accuracy on large or unusual codebases, robust UI-state scripting for screenshots across different apps, and keeping articles consistent after PRs.
