I'm now developing a desktop app for code reading.

I'm YY-EN40P here. I'm now developing Read it easy, a desktop app which helps read code.

There are a lot of programmers who don't think they are so good at code reading. Some of them even hate code reading. In my opinion, this is because we programmers encounter various troubles in the way of code reading.

I often have to go back and forth among multiple files while reading code. This situation irritates me and makes me lose focus on code because it is hard to memorize a piece of code in one file and read new code in another file at the same time. Additionally, a tab in a text editor show only a file name, so I must remember the file name together with the code when switching back from other files by tabs. Therefore, the more files are opened in a text editor, the more difficult it is to switch tabs.

To tackle this problem, I began to develop a tool for code reading, "Read it easy".

"Read it easy" provides multiple panes function for this problem. Multiple panes can show multiple files together in a screen. I can always see the previous code in other pane even if I forget it. Of course, no need to switch tabs. Multiple panes is a familiar solution, but a lot of programmers don't use it so often. "Read it easy" makes me easy to add a pane with just one click, center a pane with drag & drop and keep other panes in the sides.

So far "Read it easy" can help me reduce the stress of code reading. If you're interested in it, I recommend to try it!

I will keep "Read it easy" read-only. Because code reading attracts as much attention as coding, I think programmers may want to have a dedicated tool for code reading. I switch it to some text editors when coding.

Now "Read it easy" is an MVP. I will keep on developing "Read it easy" as a dedicated code reading tool!
