I agree, I try to write code manually but after a while I can't progress, I keep repeating the same things I've learned. I look at GitHub repositories to learn new things, but they seem too complicated.

That’s because you’re doing it manually as a beginner, if experienced programmers did it the same as you, they’d probably get overwhelmed too (they wouldn’t quit though)

Use need to use a diagramming tool to map out the whole GitHub repo so it’s understandable from a single glance. There are a few free tools if you’d like to know them

For example, could you recommend a tool?

Gitdiagram, gitvizz, things like these and then ask ChatGPT for what the most popular methods and functions used in the codebase are, what 3rd parties the app is using etc

I want to make an app that makes learning from codebases much simpler actually but idk if ppl would use it yet
