Codebase → Onboarding Docs Generator. Paste a GitHub repo URL, get interactive developer onboarding documentation in minutes.
**Live at [codeboard.vectry.tech](https://codeboard.vectry.tech)**
## Getting Started
1. **Register** at [codeboard.vectry.tech/register](https://codeboard.vectry.tech/register) with your email and password.
2. **Log in** to access the dashboard, generation history, and settings.
3. **Paste a GitHub URL** and generate interactive onboarding documentation.
Registration is required for full access. Unauthenticated visitors can view the landing page, but generating documentation, viewing your dashboard, and browsing generation history all require a logged-in account.
## Plans and Pricing
CodeBoard offers three billing tiers. One generation equals one documentation build from a repository URL.
| Plan | Price | Generations | Highlights |
|------|-------|-------------|------------|
| **Free** | $0 | 15 per day | Public repos, architecture diagrams, interactive docs |
| **Starter** | $5 / month | 1,000 per month | Generation history, API key access, priority support |
| **Pro** | $20 / month | 100,000 per month | Full history, multiple API keys, dedicated support, custom integrations |
Manage your subscription in **Settings > Billing** from the dashboard.
## API Keys (Programmatic Access)
Paid plans (Starter and Pro) include API key access for programmatic diagram and documentation generation.
1. Navigate to **Settings > API Keys** in the dashboard.
2. Create a new key and copy it immediately -- it is shown only once.
3. Include the key in your requests:
```bash
curl -X POST https://codeboard.vectry.tech/api/generate \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"repoUrl": "https://github.com/owner/repo"}'
```
Each successful API call counts as one generation against your plan's quota.
## Generation History
All generated documentation is saved to your account. From the dashboard you can:
- Browse past generations per repository.
- Compare documentation versions side-by-side to track codebase changes over time.
- Re-open any previous generation by its unique link.
History is per-user -- each account maintains its own generation records.
