Let's get funny on this saturday evening, I guess I could automate it like this:

1. Load the README.md into Langchain with Markdown loader
2. Do some Stuff Summarization... and specify in the prompt "Explain like I'm five which marks pretty well on many cases"

Let's imagine you and your best friend want to share a secret message, but you don't want anyone else to know what you're saying. So, you decide to hide your message in a drawing.

You draw a big, beautiful tree and tell your friend that the secret message is hidden in the leaves. To anyone else, it just looks like a normal tree. But you and your friend know that each leaf represents a letter, and by looking at the leaves in a certain way, you can read the secret message!

That's basically what steganography is! It's a way of hiding information (like your secret message) inside something else (like the drawing of the tree) so that only the people who know how to look for it can find it.

The technical dev blog will be coming so soon!

Why would anyone need to explain a coding project to a 5yo? It could cause a real trauma to the kid… 😒

[Artak Avetyan]

Let me try 🙄

What it does, like giving possibility to be at home, in the kindergarten or playground, but still play with friends, grandma and grandpa every day, and even share toys like if they would play in the same room or in the same playground.

Please rate the explanation 😁
And if you liked, please consider giving a star, since the the next big release is coming soon and any support is highly appreciated.

Forgot to mention. The original description sounds like this:

AREG is an asynchronous Object RPC framework to simplify multitasking programming by blurring borders between processes and treating remote objects as if they coexist in the same thread.

Simple! At Before I Die Code we teach new developers how to learn how to play in the open source playground and additionally helping them to figure out what they want to be, do and become in there life by sharing what they want to do before they die.

Sure, 5 years old can understand pretty much anything if you exchange big words for story telling :

I use software to solve a problem that would not exist without a computer.

Not sure if I can explain but I can share the link and ask the kid to explore on its own.😄
