Hey Product Hunt! I'm Maxi, co-founder of Falconer. Dave and I met at Uber, where we spent years wrestling with a problem every fast-moving eng team knows too well: the knowledge lives in your codebase, your Slack threads, your teammate's head—but never in the same place at the right time.
You know the drill. Someone asks "why did we build it this way?" and the answer is somewhere buried in a six-month-old PR comment, a Slack thread with 47 replies, and a doc that three people know exists. You spend 30 minutes archaeologizing your own company's decisions before you can write a single line of code.
We tried everything. Wikis that went stale before anyone could find them. Expensive tools that quickly became digital graveyards. READMEs that lied to our faces. None of it worked because none of it was connected to where the actual work happens.
So we ditched it all and built something that actually works. Falconer is a memory layer for fast-moving engineering teams. It connects to your GitHub and Slack, watches where decisions actually get made, and turns that into living documentation that updates itself. The context you need is just there, and you don't even need to leave Slack to get it.
Every decision, every bit of context, every "why did we do it this way"—captured, connected, and current. Without anyone having to maintain it.
It's the thing your team's most talented engineer knows off the top of their head—except now everyone has access to it.
We built Falconer because we kept losing entire afternoons to problems that had already been solved, and somehow every bloated tool we tried just added more noise instead of fixing it. We think Falconer actually nails it—and we want you to think so too.
Give it a try, tell us what clicks, tell us what's missing. All feedback is fair game.
Falconer
Before joining Falconer, I spent several years at large tech companies. I loved writing code and building products for millions, even billions, of users. But writing and maintaining internal documentation was always a pain point for me and the teams I led.
A few reasons why it felt so painful:
Keeping docs up to date in a fast paced organization is incredibly hard. They become outdated almost as soon as something changes.
It often feels redundant to write documentation for other engineers, such as API docs for internal teams, after already investing so much time building and validating the code.
Organizing documentation is also tricky. Finding the right or related docs for a feature can be frustrating. Over time, doc debt accumulates, and cleaning it up requires precious engineering time.
I believe many engineers feel the same way. We care about documentation, but keeping it accurate and well structured is much harder than it should be. And that is why we built Falconer. We wanted to remove this pain for ourselves and for other builders who share the same frustration.

I'm on the ops and marketing side at Falconer, so I'm not the deep in the codebase—but I am the person who needs to know exactly how things work at any given moment. I'm constantly pulling from our knowledge base and taking that information as truth to do my job.
Here's what using Falconer looks like in my actual workflow:
Customer conversations: I ask @falconer in Slack "how does SSO work?" and get a cited answer I can trust for a sales call with out interrupting engineers.
Product demos: I search across code, docs, and Linear tasks in one place to pull accurate feature descriptions and workflows.
Internal decisions: I can find prior decisions and understand why they went that way, instead of hoping the right person remembers.
I've been using Falconer for a few months now, and I love it. I've used it to help draft blog posts, create bespoke onboarding plans using my internal docs and a job description, create docs for a CLI tool just from reading the code, and more. It's become a tool I use every day, every way.
