I built an open-source extension that adds syntax highlighting and AI code explanation to any file

Hi everyone 👋 I recently built FileView, an open-source browser extension that improves the experience of opening raw files in the browser. Normally when you open a code file directly, it appears as plain text. FileView adds: • Syntax highlighting for 80+ languages • Markdown preview • File prettifying • An AI chatbot that can explain the code in the file I mainly built it to make inspecting files from repositories or downloads easier. Would love feedback from other developers: Is this something you would use? Any features that would make it more useful?
