Does a code explainer app worth it?


I am banging my head over this thing. Does a code explainer app worth it? if yes, who can it serve?

I am asking this because I built an app that explains code in plain english on any site. I am on the verge of shutting it down. But before doing it, I am curious to hear your thoughts.

I don't think so.

1) non-coders don't need to watch code. They will need code snippets when learning how to code, to learn how to code/syntax. Not to explain the code in most cases.

2) if non English coders don't understand English at all. But almost all programming is in English. Perhaps for the nouns used?

Maybe for absolute newcomers to coding… perhaps it could be used as a component of a learning/training platform?
