VSCode Extension: Mintlify Doc Writer - Documentation written easier and faster

A while ago I came across one of the most amazing if not the most amazing vscode FREE extension called mintlify.

Upon looking at the extension statistics and download metrics I was surprised how unpopular it is despite its HUGE advantages and especially while the core funcionality of the extension is absolutely free!

Mintlify lets you - very simply - generate documentation for a chunk of a code you select, and its done pretty fast!

Have a look at the extension here:
