Documenting code, one commit at a time.
Sometimes, the most challenging bugs are not in the core logic, but in the tooling around it. Recently, while working on the diagram rendering service for a project, I encountered an issue where invalid Mermaid syntax would cause the entire process to hang. Here's how I tackled it.
The diagram rendering service, used for generating visualizations, relied on an external script to
Ensuring consistent code quality and documentation can be a challenge. One area where consistency is crucial is in the generation of diagrams for technical documentation. This post discusses how we've improved the consistency and validity of Mermaid diagrams generated as part of our technical writing process for the devlog-ist/landing project, which provides a landing page for
The devlog-ist/landing project helps keep our landing pages up-to-date with the latest content. We've been working on improving its synchronization process with external data sources.
Key improvements include a new job for initial synchronization that smartly detects the last activity date, replacing a hardcoded 7-day window. This makes the sync process more efficient and accurate.
