I built a tool that explains any GitHub codebase in plain English

I built Codebrief.

The problem I am solving: millions of people are now
generating entire apps with AI tools like Bolt and Lovable
but have no idea what is inside their own codebase. They
own code they cannot read, explain, or modify.

Codebrief fixes that. You paste a public GitHub URL and
get a plain English breakdown of what every file does and
how they all connect. Powered by Gemini 2.5.

Built with React, Vite, and the Gemini API. Deployed on
Vercel. Built by a 22-year-old developer from
the Eastern Cape, South Africa.

Try it free: codebrief-ten.vercel.app

I would love honest feedback — especially on what would
make you pay for a Pro version.
