Idea

A developer tool that automatically reads codebases and generates a detailed feature list with exact file:line references. Saves time on documentation and code reviews.

Why this is interesting

AI-assisted code understanding is genuinely hot right now, with teams adopting tools like GitHub Copilot and Sourcegraph pushing developers to expect more automated codebase intelligence. The closest substitute is a combination of Sourcegraph's code search plus manual documentation, but no single tool automates feature extraction with line references specifically. The $1k–5k/mo band is plausible only if pricing targets teams rather than individuals, since solo devs rarely pay for documentation tooling consistently. The biggest risk is that frontier coding assistants like Copilot and Cursor absorb this use case as a free side feature within 12–18 months, leaving a narrow build window.
