Post Description
Built this for students, curious people, and anyone who's ever felt dumb reading a medical report or a legal contract.
You type a topic, it pulls real sources from the web, explains it simply, and generates a visual diagram. Four complexity levels- ELI5 all the way to Expert. Every topic gets its own permanent page so you can share it with anyone, no account needed.
You can also paste text directly:- contracts, lab reports, research papers. It breaks it down on the spot. Nothing is stored.

Proof of Thought (Pot)
The core idea—make the assistant refuse to write code until you prove you understand the problem—is a sharp behavioral hack that could really change how people use copilots. The repo/article shows a mode table (temperature, allowed tools like write/edit/bash/read/grep) and an explicit permission model, which is a useful blueprint. Right now it reads like a well-argued workflow and config proposal rather than a plug-and-play tool: I'd want an editor/CLI integration or enforcement layer before I call it a must-use.
