Developer creates Codexplain to improve Codex AI explanation readability

A developer has created Codexplain, a local user experience layer designed to improve the readability of explanations generated by OpenAI's Codex. This tool does not replace Codex but rather reformats its output into more digestible terminal-friendly structures. Codexplain can transform complex explanations into formats like TLDRs, step-by-step guides, architecture diagrams, and risk panels, while preserving the integrity of code blocks and other critical artifacts for copy-pasting.
