In plain words

Leasot is a tool that scans source code files to extract and list TODO and FIXME comments from code. It parses various file types and outputs these annotations in an organized format, helping developers track pending tasks and issues embedded in their codebase. The tool is designed for developers who want to maintain visibility of incomplete work and bug notes scattered throughout their projects.

Most of the time, my use cases are quite simple, like viewing my todo items, checking them off, or adding a new one.

    My friends and I were complaining about having to decipher incomprehensible code one day and decided to pass the code through GPT to see if it could write easily understandable comments to help us out. It turns out that GPT can but it was still a hassle to generate comments for large files. So we decided to develop a basic web application that automatically integrates with your Github repository, generate comments, create a pull request and send you an email when it is all done. There is definitely a lot more that can be done but we wanted to gain feedback on whether this is a problem that…
