I built a CLI tool that explains any error in plain English — just pipe it

Tired of googling cryptic stack traces, I built errxplain.

Just pipe any error into it:

npm run build 2>&1 | errxplain
python app.py 2>&1 | errxplain
cargo build 2>&1 | errxplain
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

It uses an LLM to tell you what went wrong, why, and how to fix it.
Free to use (needs a free Groq API key).

Would love feedback!
