#3000 - Integrated minimodule and miniblock editor

I don't know where to post this idea, so I'll post it here...

It would be cool to have some tool that could read out what PHP code means in human readable text.
My comments on Twitter:

It would probably be a completely separate project we'd link out to.
I am probably completely missing the overall point but I thought documentation within the source code solved this to some degree .
https://www.naturaldocs.org/features/output/
It explains what individual functions we implement do, but it doesn't tell people how the code works.
And code comments done are typically explaining more complex algorithms, definitely not explaining the syntax of the code.
Well that Natural Docs project is the closest I could come to answering the question. The output image shown on the link in my first reply seems to explain the code in plain understandable English and the rest of the site seems to give the impression that it is a potential answer. Perhaps though you are thinking of something entirely different to me, but Natural Docs seems like a solution to what I think you mean :)
Nah, it's just a multi-language API docs builder, we already have this for PHP: https://compo.sr/docs/api/

What I didn't mention, is I could create something that does what I describe in a few days from the Code Quality Checker's PHP parser we already have. It would be pretty far down on my list of priorities to do that, but I thought it was worth logging the idea.
