I was tired of updating code snippets from my documentation every time I changed the source code, so I created a tool that does that for me 🗿

Hey @tratteo this is really nice and helpful, especially for documentation 👏🏻 How does it work? The snippet is embedded as an image. How does Codemeup know when the image needs to be rerendered? Does it need access to the repository to check for updates? Congrats on the launch 🚀

@crebuh The code is rendered as an svg, hence HTML code. This means that at every request the snippet is rebuilt since rendering is efficient ⚡. Internally, Codmeup does have smart caching to allow faster reqeusts tho!

Hey Matteo, Does it support private repositories, and if so, how does it handle authentication and security? Congrats on the launch!

@kyrylosilin Yes it does indeed! Codemeup is an Oauth Github app, when installed for a certain user, it retrieves an Oauth token with the required permissions

This is cool! Do you have an example of a readme doc on GitHub already using this?

@sentry_co Not yet but you can test it here with any public repository: https://codemeup.dev/render

@sentry_co I just used Codemeup with the new watermark on the README of one of my open source packages, check it out: https://github.com/wildspace-dev...

"Finally, a tool that gets me! Codemeup is like the personal assistant I never knew I needed for my code snippets. No more endless README updates every time I tweak a line of code. It's like Codemeup is whispering, 'I've got you, fam.' Absolute game-changer, @tratteo! 🚀🖥️ #LazyDevLife"

Sounds like a really handy tool for devs. Just checked it out briefly, but it looks promising for saving time on doc updates. Congrats on solving a common headache!

Codemeup sounds like a powerful tool for developers who want to streamline their documentation process! Automatically keeping code snippets up to date by pulling directly from GitHub is a game-changer, saving time and ensuring accuracy. The ability to generate and embed beautiful snippets anywhere makes it even more versatile, making sure your docs always look polished and professional without the hassle of manually updating them. For anyone managing project documentation, Codemeup could definitely simplify the workflow and eliminate outdated examples in README files. Looking forward to seeing how it improves developer workflows!

Congratulations on the launch of Codemeup! I'm really excited to see how this tool can streamline the process of keeping documentation up to date with code snippets directly from GitHub. Have you considered adding customization options for the appearance of the code snippets or perhaps integration with other documentation tools? That could really enhance its versatility.

I got the need this morning when I had to share some lines of code on slack for a quick review. I discovered your tool just after! Congrats for you launch!

Codemeup is a brilliant solution for keeping code snippets updated effortlessly!

This looks really interesting! @tratteo, how does Codemeup handle changes to the code? Is it able to track updates in real time, or is there a refresh process involved? Also, what kind of integration are we looking at with GitHub? Are there specific file types or configurations that work best? I'm curious about the potential for automating documentation processes with this tool. Can't wait to see how it evolves!

So simple, but so smart, love it. Thank you for building it. Is there a way to select specific lines from a file to showcase/highlight?

@babs_codes Yes on the dashboard it is possible to specify a range of lines to render. Check out the docs here: https://codemeup.dev/docs Cheers!

Codemeup looks fantastic, I hope more developers know about this. :-)

Congrats @tratteo. Great product! I see several use cases already. How does it deal with extra-long lines of code? Also, does it support multiple branches? Best of luck!

@azizka I release an update yesterday and now branches are supported. Check out the docs for details: https://codemeup.dev/docs For what regards long lines of code, the code is formatted using Prettier, so lines are wrapped in a pretty way 😎

Congrats on the launch! Codemeup sounds like a game-changer for keeping documentation up to date with real-time GitHub code snippets. How customizable are the snippet renderings? Can you adjust the style or format? Also, does it support different programming languages seamlessly?

@alexandra_describy Yes it is possible to customize the font, the theme and more, you can try it here: https://codemeup.dev/render
Congratulations to the Codemeup team! This tool simplifies embedding and maintaining code snippets directly from GitHub, enhancing documentation efficiency. Will future versions support snippet versioning or integration with other code repositories for broader usability?
