Based, Tool to help developers learn legacy code works in show hn launch.
Profile
I am working on a tool to help developers learn and remember code bases. Starting on a new code base is a pain, and a lot of our careers as developers involve some legacy code base.It works by breaking the code into flash cards and allow you to add an explanation for each method. This is not for documenting the code but for learning. The best way to learn something is to try to explain it and then fill the gaps in your knowledge ( Feynman Technique). By dividing it on flash cards you can also follow your learning progress.It also uses spaced repetition to remember what you learned.It works only in Python now and is just a prototype. My goal is to open source it, so if anyone is interested in
Tool to help developers learn legacy code is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.
It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
