codebrowse is a single-file code browser I coaxed shelley into building for me to add to my exe.dev projects.

• single file Flask app
• Pygments for syntax highlighting
• HTMX for interaction
• mobile friendly tree file browser

After doing a lot of casual hacking on exe.dev from my phone through shelley, I wanted a simple way to browse what was being generated.

A way to read the files, check the structure, check the layout of the project.

uvx codebrowse --root /path/to/code --port 8001

It's extremely easy to coax Shelley into setting it up for a specific dir and port.

Use a prompt such as:

Put this on port 6767 for <???> dir

• --ignore, -i : extra dirs to ignore, comma-separated (env: FB_IGNORE)
