Description from store Meet the AI powered browser extension that explains code and answers your questions using plain language. When you install ExplainDev, you’re getting an always available expert that can answer questions on the code you’re reading without you phoning a friend or even opening a new tab. Make sense of code written by others in GitHub, Stack Overflow answers, snippets and regular expressions in documentation, config files and examples in learning sites. To use ExplainDev: 1. Install ExplainDev browser extension 2. Create an account (default: free) 3. Browse as normal; but when you see code on a website, use the explain button to get explanations and ask questions. Developers and folks working with code need more support than ever with the demand for their technical expertise outrunning supply and 20% of developer time spent trying to understand others' code.

  • (2023-01-05) Ferran Buireu: Era bastante escéptico con esta extensión (por tener tan poco soporte) y aunque está en beta/preview la verdad es que es increíble el nivel que consigue. Es muy parecida a copiar y pegar el código en ChatGPT pero a menos clicks de distancia
  • (2022-12-16) JT: ExplainDev is must have! A game changer for those who are seeking to learn new languages or to better understand current and previously worked on languages. This extension provide accurate and percise educational detail about your code, to better explain and breakdown your understanding of the code. Give it a try, install the extention! is it amazing! It has benefited me tremendously
  • (2022-11-17) Karlo Timmerman: I work a lot with AI and especially OpenAI, but still is this a tool that is a game-changer. Easy in use, very clear and able to disclosure real complex code. I would suggest everybody to go get this product!
  • (2022-11-15) Michael Olasanya: Mind-blowing, super helpful, extremely useful extension. Coming from a non-technical background, ExplainDev has made it easy for me to understand simple to complex code by breaking it down and explaining what the code does and also line by line explanation. Being able to ask the AI my own questions about the code and get replies feels like I'm in the classroom with a teacher ready to answer me every time. No more getting stuck as I can now understand what the code is doing and how to use it. There's a lot of work to be done on this extension to improve it further but right now, in its present stage, ExplainDev is pretty darn good.

Their Application does an excellent job of breaking down the steps of coding into manageable chunks, and then explaining each one in detail. The illustrations are clear and helpful, and the overall tone is friendly and approachable. I would definitely recommend this extension which is now on VScode to anyone who wants to learn more about web development, coding and all sorts of other fields, regardless of their prior knowledge or experience.

  • (2022-04-21) Easy to configure and use. Extremely helpful. As a tech writer, it saves me time and it helps me understand the code that I document. I use it also to learn a new programming language or a new framework. The people behind it are responsive to feedback, and they keep expanding its functionality.
  • (2022-04-15) Stephanie Cope: I've been coding in python for 10+ years and looking to learn new languages. ExplainDev is an excellent way to run code and quickly understand a new language or framework. Having this as a chrome plug-in allows me to take it anywhere I need to go and get up and running in under 2 minutes.
  • (2022-03-31) Francis Matamoros: Fantástica herramienta. Aporta una comprensión que en muchas ocasiones es necesaria, bien porque el nivel del lector es básico, o porque la complejidad del código es alta. Si te sorprende Copilot, ExplainDev no te dejará indiferente. Pruébala!!!
  • (2022-03-31) Javier Malpica: excelente herramienta para entender código en lenguaje natural, de forma rápida y con niveles de explicación general y en detalle - muestra los resultados súper rápido
  • (2022-03-15) Carlos Lopez Mejia: ExplainDev has helped me a lot to better understand some concepts that I had forgotten in Python, specifically in OOP. It helped me with clarity on long and complicated pieces of code, allowing me to select specific parts and then explain them to me. I will definitely give it a try when I start learning new programming in the future.
  • (2022-03-13) Zahedi Nima: I enjoy learning things in a way that is the opposite of a black box. I need to understand the inputs, the outputs, and the inner workings of the system. In the world of programming, ExplainDev is the only all-time teacher I've found that lets me do just that. It allows me to interact with the code, see inside it, and understand how different pieces come together. Now, I'm diving deeper into the source code, reading more documentation, and even getting better at annotating my own code. It also helps me become a better teacher when I work with beginners, as communicating information well is crucial-- a skill I'm honing with ExplainDev.
  • (2022-03-05) Michael Rodriguez: Lo e puesto a prueba , con distintas funciones ,me parece que la respuesta es muy buena y apegada al contexto y natural.
  • (2022-02-15) Alan Fuentes Garcia: An excellent initiative to explain code snippets. It has helped me learn Scala and even dive deep into frameworks and libraries. There is still work to do with some explanations but it is kicking off very strongly.
  • (2022-02-11) The Good Life: Excelente extension y super util, espero en un futuro se agreguen mas lenguajes y frameworks
  • (2022-02-07) Ezequiel Matias Milone: Increible extension para los que estan aprendiendo a programar o aprendiendo un nuevo lenguaje, extremadamente util.
  • (2022-02-02) DSK: Excelente para los desarrolladores que estamos comenzando. Te explica de una manera simple y concisa como para que lo entiendas y lo puedas aplicar en tu propio codigo. Muy recomendada!
  • (2022-01-27) Derwing Medina: Realmente funciona, no todas las explicaciones son realmente precisas e útiles pero imagino que el algoritmo irá aprendiendo y mejorando con el tiempo, pero definitivamente va a ser una herramienta que utilice en mi día a día cuando este explorando repositorios de GitHub.
  • (2022-01-25) Paulo: La extensión cumple su objetivo, además de ser útil para entender código nuevo al que no se esta familiarizado
