Reminds me of FSV: http://fsv.sourceforge.net/screenshots/10.png (which was a clone of some even earlier SGI demo app - http://www.siliconbunny.com/fsn-the-irix-3d-file-system-tool... ) Anyone know of other metaphorish visualizations that might be useful for navigating code or graphs?

How can you mention those tools without also noting their most famous on-screen appearance: the "hacking" scene from Jurassic Park :-) This is almost the opposite of what you're asking for, but I am reminded of a rather more 2D version of these tools for finding what is using up space on your hard drive: the very excellent SpaceSniffer [1], which is sadly only for Windows.

I've been using Disk Inventory X [0] for years. It's free and it works great!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeah, that crashed mobile safari for me when I tried it earlier. I imagine kubernetes would be tough as well.

How does github.com/upspin/upspin compare?

It immediately errored out on the server. Also, I recognize your username from a transitive dependency, I think from blackfriday (markdown library), so thanks for your contribution!

This is amazingly cool! The grand daddy of them all, Kubernetes, takes quite a toll performance-wise. https://go-city.github.io/#/github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes

Haha that crashes chrome on my pixel 2.

K8S was the second thing I tried (after randomly trying hashicorp/vault). It took about a minute to load on my Toshiba CB30, but it actually worked! Rotated at 0.3 FPS though.

If you want a test case for improving the rendering performance, try "github.com/juju/juju". It manages about 1 FPS on an iMac.

similar load test is to hit github.com/golang/go

Surprisingly I found other smaller repos render slower (maybe because more was visible), for instance:

A note: Doesn't seem to work here, just a blank screen. Linux, Firefox 63.0b14, uBlock Origin. It does work in Chromium. Firefox console says something about firebase being undefined: https://i.imgur.com/t4xOHGh.png

On my FF, it just opens a small window with:

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul Line Number 2483, Column 29: flex="1">&trackingProtection.on; ----------------------------^
