Products that do what CodeViz – A diagram editor that understands your code (YC S24) does
Hey HN, we’re Will and Liam, founders of CodeViz (YC S24). We’re building a VS Code extension that reads your code and generates editable architecture diagrams (C4, UML). It’s mostly used by teams to build shared context, agree on technical decisions, and visualize PRs. Here’s a recorded demo: https://youtu.be/Jh3wkrCj_WQ You can try the VS Code extension here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeViz.... It’s free for 10 generations/month (no signup). Then, we have a $19/month plan for unlimited diagram generation and $50/month…

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…

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 programming since I'm 6 and I don't want to quit. Since Agents came into existence I've been increasingly building more of the random ideas. BUT, like many I kept getting stuck and frustrated where I wanted to make changes with the Agent that I knew I could've made without it but I had *no clue* how things worked. I created Intraview to help me build and maintain a mental model of what I was building (or had vibed) so I could use my knowledge to either fix it myself, or provide more directed instruction. It grew into something that's transformed my workflow in a pleasant way.…

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 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…
