Hello all,
I am a french software engineer and I have been transitioning all of my accounting to bean count (it's great software, thanks !).  I had some issues understanding how I should implement some stuff because I have some difficulty understanding english accouting terms.
I use nixos, so I am somewhat used to struggling with docs. 

I have to say first that I am somewhat agnostic on AI for software dev, but one of my colleague said: "try it for docs it will be great". So I got the antitgravity free month on their pro plan and I tried to build a diataxis doc for beancount using opencode (as I understand it it's a clone of claude code). 

Here is the result: https://slashformotion.github.io/beancount-docs/

The repo is here: https://github.com/slashformotion/beancount-docs

The result is ok at best, I think some of the bql part of the doc is incorrect. But I completed this under an hour, which is interesting. 

I used the docs and fava  repo of the beancount org to feed the model, If you want me to take the site/repo down for IP I can no issues. 

Curious to get your thoughts on the repo/site ? Do you think there is a point in having a docs beside the google docs (especially when it comes to syncing) ? 

Cheers, 

Martin Blais

We already have it converted here: https://beancount.github.io/docs/
I've experimented with AI generated docs elsewhere with mixed results (lots of slop).
Thanks for trying this out,


 

Cheers,

> Lots of slop

That is also my feeling. I ended up using the whole quota of antigravity for this in an 1,5 hour session, so basically this doc website "cost" me 20 euros. 

I will add a warning banner in the website and a clear redirect to the official docs.
