The Problem
There are a lot of extension documentation generators like the one developed by @AkshatRana . It works fantastic however I was facing one issue with it I had to arrange blocks everytime manually in my documentation which was quite hectic . It lacked a few features which I think would make it better. So to solve the problem I built a for all extension devs- AIX Tools.

License Generator with support for adding a custom license
Copy documentation with all Blocks at once
Generate Documentation pdf (Text/Block view)
Download individual blocks as png
Demo Video

Support Development
I'm a 16 year old high school student, I like to create and maintain many extensions and projects. I research a lot daily to bring something new to App Inventor
While my primary goal and perspective on App Inventor is not to earn money, it really helps and motivates me a lot if you could spare some donations.
For my other projects refer to my site. If you are a great person then please support my efforts by subscribing to my YouTube Channel
Not possible to copy and paste into AI2 community, even for an extension with only a few blocks, the character limit is exceed due to the base64 encoding of the images - and the images do not show, in any case.
PDF generated splits images across pages
Still, the best and most reliable way to do this, on the community, is for the extension developer to do it by hand.
I note that you have also voted on your own poll !!!
I did something similar some time ago, unfortunately the character limit in a single post means that it doesn't work for all extensions. Extensions with a larger number of blocks will easily exceed the limit, but when we have a small number of blocks, manually inserting a few images is no problem.
Yes because the extension developer put that in the description. I will add parsing to it
Yes because copying all blocks at once is not supported also with other documentation generators you have to download the blocks but using this you just paste
