PR Explainer turns pull requests into narrated walkthroughs you can listen to. Open any PR in VS Code, hit "Explain PR," and a voice walks you through each change while the relevant code highlights in your editor. Pause, rewind, skip — like a podcast for code reviews. It understands your codebase before explaining it — so every explanation references real files and real line numbers. Works with 11 languages. Export tours as MP4 videos with captions. Free to use (or managed!), runs locally.
What's great
I love the idea, as someone who spends at least 30% of their time reading PRs with heave workloads at the same time it can be difficult to find the will power to truly do a deep review of a 3k+ line PR.
What needs improvement
More insights/visibility, for example I didnt configure anything, what model was used? how many tokens? cost of those tokens? maybe a in setting pages of the account in https://prexplainer.com/ configure model related info.
Some iterations on the product and I would easily pay 15 dollars a month for it using my own LLM API keys

Hi Mateo,
Appreciate your review a lot!
You can configure your own model and provider for both the tour generation and voice! It includes 10 free tours for you to try at the moment.
I can do a better job documenting that maybe!

Can you export the narrated walkthrough as a shareable link for async code reviews with teammates who use different editors? Really cool approach to code reviews!
@mateuszjacni The generated tours will work on any VSCode based editor so creating an exportable bundle is trivial for those, can explore how I can make it work for other editors!
Thank you :-)
@mateuszjacni Hi Mateusz, PRExplainer now allows generating shareable tours and PDF's for teammates! Check it out if you're interested :-)
Is this product open source? I would love to contribute
@mateobv07 I’ve been planning on open sourcing parts of it! Anyway we can connect to discuss?
