Please do stevage/map-gl-utils And turfjs/turf Feedback: it's confusing that you're using the word wiki. I guess you mean, the style is similar to Wikipedia? But otherwise the concept of a wiki, an editable set of interconnected pages, seems irrelevant and just confusing here?

On it! Appreciate the feedback. We might actually make them editable and then that would kill the confusion.

I'd quite like some more high level documentation for the Matrix JS SDK ( https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk ). I've been looking at it for quite some time and still don't understand how timelines work. Would bw fascinating if your tool could bring something useful to light.

On it!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Great point! Here's an example of an obscurer repo with a good wiki: https://wiki.mutable.ai/dadongshangu/async_FIFO

Impressive. I would be interested in this once it hits general availability. I would also love to see it operate on a local repository, because I may not be hosting my source code on Github.

Hey! we're able to do completely private deployments.

Reading these wikis makes me feel we need to invent some visual convention to indicate AI-generated text. Like a particular color or font. This would make it so people don't feel cheated after they realize they just spent several minutes trying to make sense of something churned out by an LLM. (I mean this as a voluntary design enhancement for sites that want to be nice, of course people can always cheat.)

Requesting https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters as I'm going through that codebase and would be able to provide feedback. cheers

ps. just gonna second everyone else who's saying being able to edit out incorrect data is very important, otherwise people are gonna be weary of reading repos they aren't already familiar with.

Hi! Appreciate your comment, I personally think AI generated content is the future. The reactions people are having to AI generated content is very similar to the reactions to the printing press whereby anyone could write anything and mass distribute it. I think people also had similar reactions to Google indexing the web. (Note: I'm not discounting existential risk, that is real but another topic for another day.)

Why does it request write access to my repos via gh auth?

Great question. We originally had some functionality that can do pull requests for our app, what makes sense instead is to:

1. move private wikis to wiki.mutable.ai (not app.mutable.ai) 2. restrict permissions for wiki github app to read only

Hope that explains things, we just wanted to launch as early as possible to get all the wonderful feedback from the HN community so we can bake it into Auto Wiki v2.

That’s nice but the name is confusing: it’s not generating a wiki at all, but a documentation website with a Wikipedia-like theme. Wikis are collaborative websites; Wikipedia is only one of them.

Apologies for the confusion, we are thinking of adding the ability to edit the wikis. What do you think?
