Show HN: Deadlinks Documentation Checker

Author here. I tried to work with kubeflow[1] project this summer, and i got a lot of 404 reading it's documentation, which outranged me a bit. I wrote two functions php script and checked kubeflow site for deadlinks, made a few PR and hopefully fix the situation a bit. During hacktoberfest I made a tool called a deadlinks[2] (I am kinda bad in naming things), and start checking different project documentation for this kind of error (hey guys if you remember me - cheers!). I have discovered that there are (almost) no documentation without such errors. Every single one has it (except hashicorp tools, they are good!).

I start spending more time trying to improve deadlinks, and define use cases. Currently, I am working more on the kubenetes website and deadlinks swinging back and forth, and I think we are ready to be used.

I made simple documentation[3] so you can check examples and how this tool can be integrated into existing ci/cd systems.

How can it be useful for your opensource project/static website?

1. You can check it on broken links during CI.

2. You can apply it to a folder with files or to a server (standalone or ssg powered).

3. If you switching SSG you can check what will be the difference in terms of a number of broken links.

4. It's available as pip package, brew and docker image.
