I always liked the idea having relationship based programming (graph programming), but with actual code. Never actually made the effort to make something like that. Pretty neat either way.

#22Please publish to Open VSX so it is easily available for VS Code forks like Cursor as well.

#23Looks great, it was actually just playing around yesterday with `code canvas app` which is similar, and also Charkoal.dev and Haystack Editor (before code-review pivot) which are related. Yours looks better than any of them already!
I wish it was available in Cursor as well though. Not sure how exactly they manage their marketplace, most VSCode extensions seem to be there but now and then I encounter one that is missing for no apparent reason.

#24I definitly think more tools like this are needed, but not open sourcing it is a mistake. You will be quickly replaced by a friendlier competitor.
There already are open source extensions. Visor is one I remember off the top of my head. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sidhants...

#25All the GitHub links on your extension page are borked (including issues) From the look of the associated domain it looks like you're going full product, best of luck I'm a huge proponent of graph & visual analysis of complex systems - would have loved to try this out, but will always skip closed source editor extensions (especially in the age of widespread npm supply chain attacks & vibe coding)
Here's the source code minified and bundled:
https://www.gallery.vsassets.io/_apis/public/gallery/publish...
Unzip that archive and the source is in extension/dist folder.

#26Closed source vscode extensions: not for me.
Will be open source soon!

#28This is incredibly needed!!

#29I've tried it, but it's very slow on a not too complex codebase with my M3 Macbook Air. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Language Files Lines Blank Comment Code -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Typescript JSX 121 18724 1699 1051 15974 TypeScript 61 5389 629 550 4210 CSS 5 1039 50 22 967 Markdown 3 657 173 0 484 -----------…
We are actively improving on the performance! Also, I am a previous code canvas user too, but I felt like it didn't help me understand my codebase as much as I wanted it to.. that's why I decided to experiment something myself! :)

We will make it open source soon! Follow me on X (@Davellele) to be updated when we do :)
