Hey PH fam ,

I'm a student from China, just getting deep into the world of 'vibecoding' and building my first few projects. I could really use some community wisdom here.

For the past few months, I've been using Trae as my main editor. I absolutely love its minimalist design and the overall 'vibe' it's clean, focused, and just feels right. It helps me get into the flow state.

But I can't ignore the elephant in the room: Cursor .

We shipped a major update to ExplainGitHub and it s all about making repo exploration faster, smarter, and more useful for real work.

What s live now

• GitLab support (public & private): sign in with GitLab and chat with any repo just like GitHub.

• Saved chats & History view: your conversations persist jump back into repos and continue where you left off.

• Smarter context: ask in natural language the AI automatically finds the right files and uses them for more accurate answers (no manual file selection).

• GitDiagram visualizations: get an instant architecture map to understand structure and relationships at a glance.

• Browser extension: open chat directly from any repo page or swap github.com explaingithub.com.

Why this matters
