Elixir works better on mobile despite being around for years.

Thanks for the observation about mobile responsiveness, I will improve it!

How is this different from https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux

Elixir is a great tool for exploring and cross-referencing the Linux codebase but for a new person, Linux can come across as very intimidating and complicated. The above explorer makes it very interesting to explore the codebase. This is kind of like an interactive book on Linux internals, with every topic being referenced through code.

Look at the content in the right sidebar, this is like an interactive guide to the kernel.

The Elixir cross referencer does not have any special features to help you learn

This is super cool. Love the little icons in the left and would be nice if they were clickable.

> API rate limit exceeded for 106.51.68.199. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)

The GitHub APIs that you are using to list files are getting rate-limited in my case. If somebody else is also facing this issue, just use a VPN or something like Cloudflare Wrap to change your ip - this should fix the issue.

P.S If you are the main dev, giving an option to the visitor to sign in using Github or use a caching layer will be really helpful to make this accessible for the new user.

Hey! Thank you for catching this issue and reminding me of the super naive implementation I went with. I will improve this! :)

I appreciate the learning guidance.

Thanks for sharing OP! It seems quite some people liked it, so I'll be listening to feedback and see what to do next. :)

Am I the only one that can't access the website due to certificate problems with the .dev?

reverserdev

I cannot reproduce. Would you mind sharing a bit more? The certificate is handled by Cloudflare Pages.
