TECHNICAL WRITER
"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."

DEVELOPER, 2 years experience
"I used ExplainDev to contribute on a repo of a chrome extension that I often use. Without it, I would've never understood the code enough to be able to help"

RESEARCHER
"I read the documentation a lot in my routine, especially when I cannot find a good tutorial. Problem though is that in most cases, the docstrings and comments are not as in-depth as I would like them to be (or when they are, it's hard to get an intuitive understanding of the explanations). This is where ExplainDev comes in handy. With this extension, I can get a more detailed description of what is happening in the code, what is being done and why it is being done in the way it is."

COMPUTER SCIENCE STUDENT
"ExplainDev has become a game changer in my StackOverflow navigation, now I save time knowing that a piece of the code that I'm reading doesn't give extra value to the functionality that I need to have in my programming or the bug that I'm trying to solve."
-
FRONT-END DEVELOPER
"I struggle trying to understand the abstractness of the Back-End on several occasions. ExplainDev helps me a lot when I'm watching a tutorial and I don't understand clearly what a piece of code is doing or how. But by going to the repo and using the extension the help it's more useful than the language or framework docs"
-
CODING INSTRUCTOR
"When using ExplainDev, it aids me on being able to break down code in simple English and then I can form my own analogies. It gives me a quick insight also during code reviews as well. When I see my students code and when they have questions it lets me just think about the process more fluidly."
-
SW ENGINEER
"Whenever I review a piece of code either on Stack Overflow or in docs I like to fully understand the code before implementing it into my own code and the perfect pair for that is ExplainDev. The extension structures the given explanation very well and digested in a way that the sometimes answers and pieces of code in the docs cannot and of course it fastens up your workflow, it's a very nice extension to have for every dev."
-
SELF TAUGHT CODER
"This extension is great for beginners (as well as professionals) who want to learn coding, use new algorithms, new languages, or frameworks. Since I'm a self-taught coder, I've learned that nothing is more educational than seeing what goes into code and what comes out of it. "
-
LEARNING TO CODE
"I have been able to read, understand, and learn at a much faster pace with ExplainDev. It has also helped me save time from searching the web for explanations and tutorials"
-
LEARNING TO CODE
"I have internalized the use of ExplainDev in my 'coding life', it saves me lots of time and 'googling'"
-
FULL STACK LEARNER
"I feel less overwhelmed by documentation now and tend to go directly to it instead of going the youtube/stackoverflow way. I find being able to understand documentation allows me to dive deeper into the code and come up with more solid answers."
-
CS STUDENT
"ExplainDev has saved me lots of time and useless code. Further, something that I value more, I learn so much with the extension, why? In lazy code mornings I found myself with things that I didn't completely understand, but I was too lazy to google them, there ExplainDev gave me quick explanations."
