GitHub Treemaps

Visualizing Github in treemaps

GitHub Treemaps launched on August 31, 2014 with 33 votes, #1,096 of 2,208 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 12 years on.

In plain words

GitHub Treemaps is a developer tool that visualizes GitHub repositories using treemap diagrams. It displays repository structure and data in a compact, hierarchical visual format, making it easier to understand repository organization and metrics at a glance. The tool is designed for developers and teams who want to explore and analyze GitHub projects through interactive visual representations rather than traditional text-based navigation.

    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…
