I'm trying understand what this fulfills. I understand it extracts documentation from comments, and writes them to a JSON file. There are have been countless tools to do this.

#23If you would like to some real examples of documentation created using Sodocan.js, check out http://jesterswilde.github.io/hashids/ and http://liujoycec.github.io/jwt-simple/ . These are both created from the Blueprints template Sodone. These templates are also open-source, and we would love for you to help us improve them and add more templates!

#25A shame that the page has to hijack the scroll functionality, it makes for a very unpleasant "lumpy" feeling scrolling. Chrome Version 46.0.2490.80 (64-bit) on OS X Yosemite.

#27Ok, what is the unwanted side-effect for the user? Since i cannot see pricing info or such - how do you monetize? Which part of my soul - as a user - do i sell by using the service? And: The service looks nice - my way of asking questions does not imply a bad impression.
