What is Source Code Reader?
Source Code Reader is a highly specialized Chrome extension aimed to provide superior code navigation functionality for .NET C# projects hosted on GitHub. Unlike basic file browsing offered by GitHub and similar platforms, Source Code Reader understands the semantics of the code, letting you quickly identify and navigate to the implementation code from the calling sequence. Inspired by the 'Go To Definition' feature in Microsoft Visual Studio, it makes code perusal a seamless experience.

Extension summary

Source Code Reader is a web application which basically allows a user to open a publically hosted .NET C# project on Github and navigate through the code seamlessly. It allows a user to navigate directly to the implementation code from the calling code with single click (similar to the Go To Definition feature available in Microsoft Visual Studio).

Source code hosting providers like GitHub, Bitbucket, CodePlex and Google Code only provide provide basic file browsing capabilities. Source Code Reader does much more than files browsing; it understands the semantics of the code to give superior code navigation functionality.
