| ## 💙 What is Elysia's Code Companion? | |
| **Elysia's Code Companion** is a standalone web app that brings the power of AI code analysis to your browser. Open any folder, chat with the AI, get insights, find bugs, and improve your code - all without leaving your browser. | |
| ### 🎯 Why This App? | |

| - ✅ Analyzes code structure | |
| - ✅ Chats with you about your code | |
| - ✅ Finds bugs & suggests improvements | |
| - ✅ Works offline (after initial load) | |
| - ✅ No backend needed (100% client-side!) | |

| ### 🎨 Code Viewer Features | |
| **Fullscreen Code Viewer:** | |
| - Large, comfortable reading view | |
| - Full syntax highlighting | |
| - Copy entire file with one click | |
| - Quick switch to Artifact mode (for HTML) | |
| **✨ Artifacts Preview (HTML Live Preview):** | |
| Artifacts are **live HTML previews** - just like Claude.ai! 🎨 | |
| Instead of just reading HTML code, you can **see it rendered** with full interactivity. | |
| **How to use:** | |
| 1. Open any `.html` file in the tree | |
| 2. Click ✨ (sparkle icon) in preview panel | |
| 3. Or click 🔍 (fullscreen) then ✨ | |
| **Features:** | |
| - ✅ Renders HTML in sandboxed iframe (safe!) | |
| - ✅ Auto-loads CSS from `<link>` tags | |
| - ✅ Auto-loads JS from `<script>` tags | |
| - ✅ Relative paths resolved automatically | |
| - ✅ Fully interactive (buttons, forms, animations work!) | |
| - ✅ Refresh with 🔄 button anytime | |
| - ✅ Switch to code view with 📝 button | |
| **Example:** | |
| If your `index.html` has: | |
| ```html | |
| <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" /> | |
| <script src="app.js"></script> | |
| ``` | |
| Elysia automatically finds and inlines both files! No manual setup needed. | |
| **Perfect for:** | |
| - 🎨 Previewing static websites | |
| - 📱 Testing responsive designs | |
| - 🎮 Checking interactive components | |
| - 💌 Viewing email templates | |
| - 📊 Data visualizations | |
| **Security:** Runs in sandbox with `allow-scripts allow-same-origin` - isolated from main app. | |
