For years, I’ve been obsessed with mapping code visually — originally by copy-pasting snippets into FreeMind to untangle large code bases in big complex projects. It worked, but it was clunky. Now, I’ve built a VS Code/Visual Studio extension to do this natively: Code Mind Map. You can use it to add selected pieces of code to a mind map as nodes and then click to jump to the code from the map. Developers say it’s especially useful for: Untangling legacy code Onboarding into large codebases Debugging tangled workflows Please try it out and let me know what you think!
