You know, I think this Explorer is exactly the tool many of us lacked. Reading the Linux kernel source always felt daunting — thousands of files, confusing paths, complex structure. This feels like a “map” that helps you orient yourself, see how parts interconnect, how VFS works, how modules tie together. Yeah, sometimes a feature breaks (API limits, errors opening directories), but even so — this is a great way to peek “under the hood,” understand the architecture, and take the first step. Big thanks to the folks behind it.

Not that I care much if things are written by AI or not, but there has been a large stream of new accounts posting "<generic positive statement about project> <short description of a reason one could use the tool> <yeah x, but y> <token if thanks>" template posts with em dashes and other generically "AI styled" writing hints. My only thought is it's an easy way to get bot accounts past karma thresholds.

Whatever the reasons for these new accounts, and I'm not writing this to say that you are one such account or not, adopting a near identical style and template in certain responses is probably why some of your comments have been struggling.

Apologies for the double post, my browser said the connection failed the first time so I went back in my history and submitted again but didn't notice until after the delete window :).

It reminds me of LXR:

which when I started working with Linux was a great asset. At some point it seems it inspired a reimplementation in Python:

I don't get it. I can't pull master, I can't grep, I can't edit and I certainly can't gmake there.

What's the use?

I believe it's a navigation tool, with pointers to important parts of the code. Useful for those that want to learn about the code base but do not know where to get started.
