Galaxy of Debian packages

Code galaxies visualization allows you to explore huge graphs of software package managers (npm, go, ruby gems, composer, etc.)

Galaxy of Debian packages launched on July 28, 2015 with 10 votes, #1,750 of 4,208 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

Galaxy of Debian packages is a visualization tool that displays large software dependency graphs from multiple package managers including npm, Go, Ruby Gems, and Composer. It enables developers to explore and understand the relationships between packages across different ecosystems. The tool transforms complex package data into interactive galaxy-like visualizations, making it easier to navigate and comprehend how software dependencies interconnect.

    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…

    I've been iterating on a small galaxy visualization project that originally started as a university course assignment, using only provided sample data (no real astronomical distances). Recently, I updated it to include redshift-based distance data, which makes the 3D structure more meaningful and closer to real large-scale galaxy distributions.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
