Show HN: Smoothdev.io – AI Commit Message Generation for Developers

I'm the founder of Smoothdev.io, and I wanted to share a tool I've been working on.

If you're like me, you know that writing good Git commit messages is important, but it's often a tedious step that breaks your flow. I found myself writing quick, unhelpful messages like "wip" or "fixes" just to get things done, which made my Git history a mess to look back on later.

To solve this for myself, I built Smoothdev.io. A core goal from the start was to create something that seamlessly integrates into a developer's existing workflow, not add another process. That's why it's a simple CLI tool that analyzes your staged changes (git diff) and uses that context to generate a conventional commit message for you. It helps maintain a clean, understandable version history without forcing you to change your habits.

The CLI for commit message generation is our first release. To get some early feedback, I'm offering an extended 30-day free trial so you can try it out without any commitment.

You can get the trial here: https://smoothdev.io

While the commit generation tool is what's available today, it's the first step in a much larger plan. Our long-term goal is to automate software engineering documentation across the entire development lifecycle—from capturing product requirements and design decisions before the first git commit all the way up the stack to generating final end-user documentation.

I'm looking forward to hearing what you think!
