As a developer, I love exploring new projects—but when it comes to investing in or adopting someone else’s software, reviewing the code can feel like guessing in the dark. Is the code well-structured? Are there hidden security or licensing issues?

Recently I tried CodeDD, a tool designed to make those questions easier to answer. You simply connect a GitHub or GitLab repository, and it automatically audits up to 10,000 lines of code for free. The report highlights potential risks, technical debt, and open-source license concerns—perfect for investors, VCs, or any team evaluating third-party software.

What I like most is the transparency. Whether you’re an angel investor eyeing a startup or a developer integrating an open-source library, CodeDD provides an objective “health check” of the codebase.

If you’re curious, upload a repository and see what insights you get. It’s a quick way to replace guesswork with real data when deciding if a project is worth your time or money.
