I used Trelent, an extension for VS code that didn’t require any registration, but their server has been unresponsive for a while. Any alternative you would recommend?
My code is in Python, mostly.

Edit: I wasn’t clear on my intention. I was looking for a tool that would lay out a generic description so I would start from something and fine tune the explanation.
I am incredibly bad at documenting, the process is tedious and frustrating. At the end of the day, my explanations are mostly gibberish anyway.
From your general consensus, I should bite the bullet and do it by myself.
I really appreciate your feedback, point taken. Time to psych myself up with some death metal and get it over with.

    RE your edit: I also support that conclusion and I’m glad you’ll give it a shot yourself. A mindset that helps me is this: commenting is part of the iterative code writing process. When I’m struggling to put a concise and understandable comment above some code, it almost universally means that there’s something about the code itself I should arrange more clearly. This is your chance to do some rubber ducking, it’s valuable to both you and the next person to read your code!
