Auto-generate repository documentation
Your repo already has the information. CodeDashboard just writes it down.
The problem
Documentation falls behind the code. You write a README when you start the project, update it once or twice, then stop. The architecture changes, new endpoints get added, dependencies update, but the docs stay frozen.
Writing documentation manually is tedious. Keeping it in sync with the code is harder. Most tools generate API reference docs from code comments, but nobody writes those comments either.
The solution
CodeDashboard reads the actual code and generates documentation from what it finds. Not from comments or annotations, from the code itself. Run an analysis whenever the codebase changes and get updated architecture diagrams, tech stack listings, API endpoint tables, and component summaries.
The dashboard is a living document. Re-run the analysis after a major release and the docs update automatically.
How CodeDashboard helps

Architecture diagrams
Interactive diagrams showing how system components connect, generated from the code, not from memory.
Shareable and embeddable
Link to the dashboard from your README or wiki. Anyone can view it without logging in.
