Feedback by Abdulmuiz Adebayo

I'm new to open source and wanted a first project I could…

docwrite reads a codebase and generates a README for it, using whatever Ollama model you already have installed. No cloud, no API keys, and it works offline. How it works: python/main.py auto-detects your installed Ollama model, reads the target project, sends it to the model and writes a README.md. Nothing is hardcoded to one model. It's plain Python and JS with no heavy frameworks, and MIT licensed. Testing so far: A small calculator project: accurate, usable README A multi-file Python + JS TODO app: coherent output with install, usage, features, contributing and license sections Both ran on 1.5B models (qwen2.5 and qwen2.5-coder) The limitation: small models sometimes invent plausible-but-wrong details. I've seen fake clone URLs and requirements.txt or npm scripts that don't exist. I'm documenting this in the project's README rather than hiding it. Where I'd love your input: Has anyone found a good way to stop small models from hallucinating setup steps? (Constraining output to only files that exist? Post-validation?) What would you want a README generator to get right first? Any advice for a first-time maintainer? Repo: https://github.com/sengoraku/docwrite Next I'm planning a supervised agent loop for local models with hard-coded safety rules, but I wanted to get docwrite right first.

Progress by Gabe LG

WordPress can receive email as well as send it.

https://mailkite.dev MailKite SMTP is now in the WordPress.org directory. It replaces PHP mail() with the provider you already use — MailKite, SendGrid, Brevo, Mailgun or any SMTP server — and keeps a free log so a failed send is visible instead of disappearing quietly. You can also route incoming mail into WordPress, where a hook lets your code turn a message into a support ticket or an order note. No separate mailbox to check, and no need to build the same plumbing for every site. The plugin is free, GPL-2.0, with no Pro tier. MailKite’s free plan includes unlimited domains and 5,000 emails a month, with inbound and outbound sharing the quota and no credit card. Start at https://mailkite.dev; the setup guide is at https://mailkite.dev/docs/integrations/wordpress. Source: https://mailkite.dev/blog/mailkite-smtp-wordpress-plugin/
