🔄 Reverse Stack Overflow

The AI that questions YOUR code instead of answering questions!

Instead of searching Stack Overflow for answers, this tool reads your codebase and has a friendly chat with you about your code decisions. It's like pair programming with an AI that's genuinely curious (and slightly sarcastic) about why you wrote that code.

🚀 Quick Start

# Install globally
npm install -g reverse-stackoverflow

# Run in your project
cd your-project
reverse-stackoverflow

Or use npx (no installation):

npx reverse-stackoverflow

💬 What It Looks Like

🤖 AI: 👋 Hey there! I'm your AI code reviewer.

🤖 AI: I've been looking through your code and... well, we need to talk. 😅

🤖 AI: Ready? Let's go! 🚀

🤖 AI: Hey, quick question about src/api/users.js...

🤖 AI: ✨ I see you're using 'var' 5 times. Any reason you didn't use 'let' or 'const'?

💬 Your answer: Because I'm learning JavaScript

🤖 AI: Nice! That makes sense. 👍

🎯 What Questions Does It Ask?

• "Where are the tests for this file?"
