Thank you. I would have thought some kind of code-aware design studio would be available, but can't find anything. So much legacy code has been written over the years and no help d…

I'm learning a complex codebase. Jumping thru definitions is exhausting <:( Are there any tools that generate usable diagrams? My codebase is Java but the question is general. Than…

I'm trying to build a tool just for that. On-demand code visualization: https://sourcespy.com

Yeah, I have to be selective of reddit groups (whole Reddit search is impractical). It now covers a dozen groups around programming, software design, startups, marketing etc. I it …

This to 1) combine searches from multiple sites in one list 2) use combination of search terms across all the sites. I don't think it is easy to do with google query language :/

I build https://sourcespy.com to achieve the same goal - automated layout, drilldown but also ability to pull up the diagram contents from the code.

This is interesting. I am working on a tool (sourcespy.com) to create diagrams specifically because maintaining large diagrams in Inkscape and Lucidchart is cumbersome. Another pai…

Any chance you can provide an example of Terraform source and visualization? I'm interested in it for my own project. Thanks!

Looking for your wisdom/experience here. I'm building a specialized Wiki to document Java projects. What are the most important needs for a product of this kind? Diagrams? Code com…

I think all previous attempts to generate documentation failed for a reason. Reason is that we need to explore code, change the the views, add/remove modules as they explore. Stati…

Hello HN, Having almost 20 years of sw development experience I got sick of bad or missing documentation. I quit my job and building software that will create diagrams and document…

I was thinking about, but the practical value of sequence diagrams is somewhat questionable for me. Will add it to the list.

Does it create call diagrams by any chance?

I can't believe there are no effective tools for that. Everything looks to be very low-level...

You are given a big Java (or another language) project to contribute to. No documentation. How do you start? What tools do you use to understand the high-level structure of the cod…
