I keep going back to xfce-terminal after trying anything else. Ridiculously small footprint and never drew attention to itself.

Not at this time, but down the line I probably will.

They're generated from source code using a combination of static analysis + llm analysis. They're not editable per se, but you can update them when you edit your code.

Something I do have in mind. Do you have an idea of the kind of UX you'd like to see?

It identifies telemetry, accessors, and other trivial code and strips them out of the graph. The idea is to retain architecturally relevant parts of the code.

One of the things I do when approaching a new codebase is to find the entry points and start exploring down the call paths. This gives a good overview of the different components i…

What are the memory requirements for pgGraph like? Does the entire graph for my dataset need to fit in memory?

You might be interested to look up the Williamson-Van der Mark model. It says that an electron is just light that loops in on itself and shows how properties like mass, charge and …

I've always thought call graphs are a great way to explore a codebase. But they tend to be noisy because programs typically have a lot of control flow going most of which is uninte…

Talking to insurance agents I realised, they don't bother to read the policy documents and have a very superficial knowledge of the policies they are selling. You can glean lot mor…

LSP is not great for non-editor use cases. Everything is cursor position oriented.

Really cool! I'm also dabbling with this idea. The biggest challenge I find is to reduce noise. Large codebases come with a lot of cruft. Surfacing every small detail in the visual…

People said the same thing about the internet, that you should be getting your information from actual books and that the internet will make you lazy and complacent. There was a ti…

Is there any write up on the tech behind nano texture? What makes them better than traditional matte screens?

Thanks for sharing. Although diagrams have a unique requirement that the boxes are inter-connected, and those connections must also look "nice".

I've had good results using ELK for a terraform diagram generator. You can see some samples here. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=infragra...

Layout is one of those things humans do so easily and intuitively, yet you couldn't write an easy algorithm for it. I wonder if there's potential to use gen ai to achieve human lik…

I built something similar recently. We could take inspiration from each other :) [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44534541

Playing around with code visualization. Built a vscode extension to generate architecture diagrams for terraform - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=infragra... N…

This is a cool problem to solve! especially as more and more code is being generated with AI. But are you pivoting away entirely from code visualization? Curious to hear why it did…

If you're not familiar with C4 model ( https://c4model.com ), the idea is to visualize your system at different "zoom levels" to see the abstraction you are interested in. When it …

Something like the C4 model? https://c4model.com/diagrams

This is something I'm working on. I'll probably do a separate post some time. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=infragra...

Code-first is kinda moving towards prompt-first. A diagram is just another way to prompt, so I can see this making a comeback, esp. with AI taking over more and more code.
