This was more so an exercise in prompting with Lovable and Cursor than it was in creating a highly polished product/tool. Yet the end result works :)

AuthorTrail is a locally running web UI that you can point to any Git repo. It will then look for all the files you have ever touched. This can be useful for large repos with lots of activity, where you want to remind yourself how you did something in the past. For example, I am using it to remind myself how I wrote an obscure unit test, without needing to browse my older PRs.

Feedback welcome!
