  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Rubycritic

    A Ruby code quality reporter

  • It's also possible to write unit tests in order to better understand or surface your assumptions about a legacy application. I'd also consider running rubycritic against legacy code, to see where the code smells and other hot spots lie.

  • YARD

    YARD is a Ruby Documentation tool. The Y stands for "Yay!"

  • If you're looking to generate docs from source, there's always the yard gem. If you want a diagram of your Rails models you might try railroady. Neither will create comments in your code, which is what I understand mintlify.com is doing for you.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
