Auto-Generated API Docs Tools Don't Detect Drift From the Real API Surface
Developers evaluating AI-ready documentation generators point out that the actual persistent pain isn't formatting output as clean markdown, but detecting when docs drift out of sync with the real API surface over time. Most current tools appear to focus on generation and theming rather than ongoing staleness detection. This leaves teams without a way to know when their docs have silently gone stale.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyCodebase Docs Silently Go Stale After the Code Changes
Engineering teams let documentation drift out of sync with the code because updating docs is unrewarding, low-visibility work. Readers have no reliable way to know whether a doc claim still reflects current code without manually checking the source themselves.

API Documentation Drift When Codebase Evolves Faster Than Docs
Developers struggle to keep API documentation in sync as APIs evolve, making static doc generation tools insufficient on their own. The core friction is not the initial creation of docs but maintaining accuracy over time as endpoints, parameters, and behaviors change. This affects API-producing teams of all sizes and erodes developer trust in documentation as a reliable reference.
AI-generated docs scattered across project folders are hard to review
AI coding tools produce useful plans, API notes, QA checklists, and HTML previews but scatter them across project directories mixed with source files and build artifacts. MD+HTML Reader is a macOS product launch offering a focused read-only review workspace for these outputs.
