Although Zread.ai is powerful, the following limitations should be noted when using it:
- Warehouse access rights: currently only supports analyzing public GitHub repositories, private repositories require a license (support may be open in the future)
- Impact of project size: Analysis of very large projects (e.g. Linux kernel) may take a long time, it is recommended to keep the page open and wait for the
- Language Support Range: while supporting mainstream languages (Python/JS/Java, etc.), the depth of analysis for niche languages such as Rust, Haskell, etc. may be insufficient
- Link formatting requirements: the full GitHub project URL (including https://前缀) must be entered, short links or repository names are not recognized
- Code Change Impact: If the original project code is updated after the analysis is completed, the analysis request needs to be resubmitted.
Users are recommended to try analyzing medium-sized projects (such as n8n, which is about 100K lines of code) first to get the best experience. For particularly complex projects, manual code review can be combined to verify the analysis results.
