The GitHub APIs that you are using to list files are getting rate-limited in my case. If somebody else is also facing this issue, just use a VPN or something like Cloudflare Wrap to change your ip - this should fix the issue.

P.S If you are the main dev, giving an option to the visitor to sign in using Github or use a caching layer will be really helpful to make this accessible for the new user.

This is super cool. Love the little icons in the left and would be nice if they were clickable.

The Elixir cross referencer does not have any special features to help you learn

Hey! Thank you for catching this issue and reminding me of the super naive implementation I went with. I will improve this! :)

Am I the only one that can't access the website due to certificate problems with the .dev?

Also: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.17.9/source

Elixir works better on mobile despite being around for years.
