Intro to CodeDecipher & Me

👋 Hi, I'm Luc,

I'm brand new here. I'm a jack of all trades and master of a few things. I'm neurodivergent, so my brain works a tiny bit different.

After years of teaching Python coding to university students, I decided to toss my hat in the ring and create a SaaS app to solve a problem that drives me bonkers -- weeding through messy codebases with zero documentation. You know that feeling — staring at 10,000 lines of someone else's logic, wondering where to even start?

I built CodeDecipher to solve that problem.

🧠 My approach to AI

I'm not here to replace developers or generate endless code. I use AI to explain — to turn complex code into clear understanding. No markdown gibberish, no "as an AI language model..." — just plain English explanations.

🌱 My ethics

  • No vendor lock-in — I use DeepSeek because it's open and affordable
  • Privacy first — All code is auto-deleted within 1 hour
  • Fair pricing — 5 free analyses/month, no credit card required
  • Not trying to be a billionaire — Just want to pay off my student loans and build something useful

🛠️ The stack

FastAPI + Jinja2 + Pico.css + some Python magic, running on Render at the moment.

🚀 What's next

The app is live! Try it at codedecipher.appwould love your feedback.

I'll be posting updates here as I add features, fix bugs, and (hopefully) help some developers along the way.

I'm open to conversation and getting to know everyone!
