Improve your documentation workflow with Hubql

Hubql empowers API teams to collaborate, document, and deliver APIs — bridging workflows for human teams and intelligent systems.

Hubql - Open Source Documentation Automation Platform

Hubql

As we welcome the new year, we're excited to go fully Open Source.

Hubql is a documentation-first DX platform designed to elevate developer workflows
and redefine the way teams build, document, and collaborate beyond coding.

Our goal is to help make documentation a first class citizen in your team and for your API consumers improving the developer experience in AI-native workflows.

With our previous product for schema visualization we have already touched grass with the challenges in documentation and collaboration.
Over the past few months we have been working with various APIs and supported other teams building APIs.

We have been a long-time invested in GraphQL and getting back deeper into the world of REST APIs has opened up a revelation for us with a lack of tooling and inefficient workflows in teams in what suppose to be a mature space.

Some of the pain points we have seen across teams and user interviews in the past are:

We tried to ignore AI as much as Linus Torvalds does but we cannot deny the impact on software development.

In fact, AI Code Editors are rising and very much adopted by teams but still lack proper and consistent output.

Developers increasingly rely on AI tools, but without better documentation and workflows, these tools are limited in their effectiveness.

2025 is shaping up to be the year of AI agents, with APIs and documentation playing a central role in enabling their functionality.
As the speed of coding accelerates, everything else—from collaboration to documentation—must catch up.

Developers spend only a small amount of time coding, while the speed of coding accelerates, everything else has to catch up.

Documentation is the backbone of requirements, translation between humans and LLMs and it needs better tooling.

We see the future of software development in documentation as a center of collaoboration, context and orchestration be it for coding, testing, automation or agents that rely on APIs.

With Hubql, we are building a toolset to solve common pain points in API development workflows one by one.

We are aiming to focus 4 main areas of API lifecycle:

Hubql Grid (Alpha) for Input & Context generation

Generate Markdown code summaries optimized for AI tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot.

Hubql Ref (Soon) for OpenAPI Documentation

Beautiful, always-up-to-date API docs powered by OpenAPI specs.

Test APIs instantly without manual collection management.

Hubql Lens (Soon) for Schema Visualization

Simplify and share API documentation through diagrams across teams with seamless sharing and tools.

Hubql is modular: Use one, all or any of the product that are launched with our CLI, or available standalone as plugins, or components independently — or when you combine them for an end-to-end platform.

Our role model here is very much Supabase-like approach.

We are opening up the platform not only to the community but also eventually for and as plugins into existing frameworks or for you to use with tools that may do a better job.

We are launching with an Alpha version of the platform that includes:

As an Alpha release, expect some rough edges, but we’re actively building and welcome your feedback and contributions.

Inspired by our personal open-source role models Supabase and Xyflow, we believe the future of developer tooling should be open, transparent, and community-driven.
Open source enables innovation and collaboration while fostering trust in tools that interact with your code.

We also see the future of software is likely and should be more open especially if we consider tools that interact/read/translate or inspect code.

Open source is not a business model; it’s a commitment. Our goal is to create a sustainable ecosystem that benefits the community, contributors, and our team.

We will rely on subscriptions and also share the funds with the community through collectives and incentives for issues and contributions.
We are currently evaluating solutions such as Open Collective and Polar at the moment.

We are dedicating time and resources to the project and so are open to sponsorships.

We’re inviting 5 companies to become Founding Partners — exclusive early adopters who’ll gain lifetime access to our Business Plan, public recognition, and direct influence on our roadmap.

Interested in shaping the future of API DX tooling? 

Besides we are offering an optional subscription plan for teams using Hubql commercially and help fund the development.

This model is inspired by our friends at Xyflow.

We are actively working on getting to the first release to cover crucial workflows to safe your time generating docs and sharing them.

Also, a couple of tutorials and improved documentation (yes our own documentation) are under-way.

Hubql goes Open Source - Alpha Release

Be one of 5 Founding Partners and shape the future of API Developer Experience

Hubql is launching, and we’re offering 

. This exclusive program is designed for forward-thinking teams who want early access, lifetime perks, and a chance to shape the future of API development.

Here’s your chance to be part of the next evolution in API documentation, development, and collaboration. 

This opportunity will only be available to the first 5 partners.

Hubql is a next-generation API platform that makes it easier for teams to document, and collaborate on APIs.

We start from building UI components for API documentation, and then build a platform to make it easy for teams to share and collaborate on APIs.

Unlike most API tools, Hubql is built with a few key principles in mind:

With Hubql, growing teams can build together, stay in sync, and avoid the frustration of manual syncs and fragmented tools.

We have been working with various API tools over the years and been dissatisfied with the tools we have used, either by the lack of beauty, or by the lack of open-source and privacy-focused tools.

Working with various teams we found many hacking their way around seat-based pricing with weird and inefficient workflows,

In some cases shareholder interest is also not aligned with developer experience or the purpose of the tool.

We like to change this with Hubql by providing a platform open-source for teams.

Software development is changing, documentation, testing and collaboration is becoming more relevant when building and write code is accelerating.

Hubql has been a self-funded company since its inception in 2023.

Over the past few months we have been building APIs for customers and worked with other teams learning how some of the API development workflows lack efficiency.

We have always keen on building developer tools for others to help them work more efficiently.

Also, we believe building developer tools should be open-source and accessible to everyone.

Building open-source is great but requires funding and commitment from companies and individual to keep it sustainable with focus.

Simply, we won't be able to take off without support founding partners.

Introducing the Hubql Founding Partner Program

In a world where AI tools are reshaping the landscape of software development, the foundational role of documentation is becoming more critical than ever.

At Hubql, we envision a future where documentation is no longer an afterthought but a first-class citizen for collaborative, efficient, and AI-native software development.

As coding accelerates with the rise of AI-powered code editors and tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT,
the rest of the development workflow struggles to keep up.

Documentation, collaboration, and testing — the backbone of successful software projects — often fall behind,
creating bottlenecks and inefficiencies. Misaligned teams, outdated docs,
and fragmented tooling make it harder to deliver quality software at speed.

We believe documentation should do more than describe your software; it should shape it.

Our vision for document-driven development is simple: 

build better software with better documentation.

For organizations, adopting a document-first approach isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about staying competitive in the age of AI. Companies that invest in better documentation now will:

Hubql is designed to lead this shift toward document-driven development.
By combining open-source flexibility with cutting-edge tools for documentation, testing, and collaboration,
we’re empowering teams to work smarter, not harder. Our modular platform allows companies to:

At Hubql, we’re not just building tools;
we’re building a community of forward-thinking companies and developers
who believe in the power of documentation to transform software development.
Whether you’re a startup, a growing team, or an enterprise, we invite you to join us in shaping this future.

We’re inviting 5 companies to become Founding Partners — exclusive early adopters who’ll gain lifetime access to our Business Plan,
public recognition, and direct influence on our roadmap.
