    In the past I've used declarative diagram generation tools like Mermaid.js a lot for quickly drawing up things but for presentations or deliverables I find that I have to then move the generated diagrams over to a tool like Lucidchart which allows full control of the organization and customization. Therefore I am now working on this to combine the benefits of both into just one tool which can do both functions. The project is certainly in the early stages but if you find yourself making architecture diagrams I'd love to hear your thoughts on the idea or even a Github issue for a feature…

    Hi HN! I'm Gabriel, the author of dep-tree (https://github.com/gabotechs/dep-tree), and I wanted to show off this tool and explain why it's being really useful at my current org for dealing with code complexity. I work at a startup where business evolves really fast, and requirements change frequently, so it's easy to end up with big piles of code stacked together without a clear structure, specially with tight deadlines. I made dep-tree [1] to help us maintain a clean code architecture and a logical separation of concerns between parts of the application, which is…

    This started as a hard requirement for my TUI-based editor application, it ended up going in a few different directions. A suite of tools that help with semantic code entities: https://github.com/odvcencio/gts-suite A next-gen version control system called Got: https://github.com/odvcencio/got I think this has some pretty big potential! I think there's many classes of application (particularly legacy architecture) that can benefit from these kinds of analysis tooling. My next post will be about composing all these together, an exciting project I call…

    I built Nogic, a VSCode extension currently, because AI tools make code grow faster than developers can build a mental model by jumping between files. Exploring structure visually has been helping me onboard to unfamiliar codebases faster. It’s early and rough, but usable. Would love feedback on whether this is useful and what relationships are most valuable to visualize.

    I've been building a tool that changes how LLM coding agents explore codebases, and I wanted to share it along with some early observations. Typically claude code globs directories, greps for patterns, and reads files with minimal guidance. It works in kind of the same way you'd learn to navigate a city by walking every street. You'll eventually build a mental map, but claude never does - at least not any that persists across different contexts. The Recursive Language Models paper from Zhang, Kraska, and Khattab at MIT CSAIL introduced a cleaner framing. Instead of cramming everything into…

    This is a project I recently worked on at Definitive. We’re hoping to make it easier to semantically query (changing) source code files. We’d love to see people use it as a building block. If you have any suggestions please leave a comment or open a GitHub issue!

    Hi all, I'm Ivan, and together with Alex, we're building a diagram visualization tool for codebases. Alex and I are devs, and we've noticed that recently we've been super productive at writing code (prompting :D). But when it comes to understanding big systems, prompting doesn't work that well — for that, diagrams are best imo. Most tools out there don't scale to big projects (e.g. PyTorch), so we're building CodeBoarding — a recursive visualizer for codebases. It starts from the highest level of abstractions and lets you dive deeper. We use static analysis and LLM agents. The control-flow…

    I built Code Canvas, a canvas where we create diagrams and link their components to source code in a two-way mapping: 1. Click on the diagram component to reveal the underlying source code 2. Click on the source code block to reveal which functionality it serves in the big picture on the diagram - The app also has a simulations feature where we can create tutorials and runtime simulations directly on the diagram. - The diagram stays in sync with source code changes. It has a companion scanner that runs on new pull requests to ensure the relevant components of the diagram are updated before…

    I worked as a software engineer at Amazon, SAP, and on open source. In all 3 places I have struggled with the friction of understanding codebases before I can make a contribution. I think this brain-fatiguing process can be improved. I am trying to solve it with a tool I built over the last 4 years called CodeCanvas: https://docs.code-canvas.com CodeCanvas visualizes codebases through interactive diagrams linked directly to source code. Users can record 'simulations' to demonstrate data flow and business logic. I’ve also recently added an LLM chat where it takes only the relevant…

    I was frustrated with how bad a signal of progress through a big PR "Files viewed" was, so I made a "Lines viewed" indicator to complement it. Designed to look like a stock Github UI element - even respects light/dark theme. Runs fully locally, no API calls. Splits insertions and deletions by default, but you can also merge them into a single "lines" figure in the settings.
