I'm excited to share my first programming project with the HackerNews community!

Murdoc, a Ruby documentation and class browser. As a newcomer to the programming world at 39 years old, I wanted to challenge myself to learn something new and apply my previous design experience to create a useful tool for fellow Rubyists.

Murdoc was built during a programming bootcamp, and I'm proud to say that despite being a beginner, my team and I were able to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing tool. As someone who recently shifted careers from furniture design and manufacturing to software development, I understand the importance of good design and usability.

I know how overwhelming it can be to navigate through endless documentation and figure out class hierarchies, especially as a newcomer to the Ruby community. That's why I built Murdoc to make your life easier and your coding experience smoother.

I'm well aware that Murdoc is a work in progress and that there's always room for improvement. So, if you're interested in checking it out and providing feedback, please head over to our repository (https://www.github.com/0tt049/murdoc). As a beginner, I could use some encouragement and guidance, and I'm eager to hear from more experienced developers in the community.

Thank you for taking the time to read about Murdoc, and I'm looking forward to your feedback!

Hey! This is pretty neat. I think you should definitely iterate on the design, but I think the overall plan is solid.

And welcome to the Ruby community, glad to have you!
