Got it, how about a manual trigger for diagram creation and an explicit description of LLM/server usage on the page with the trigger?

Maybe just the truth in plain text, up front?

Sure thing - we'll plainly state this in the extension's description, the extension itself, and our website

This is cool but it is way to expensive and the free version is not that useful.

Tried it on the github.com/pulumi/pulumi codebase and I get 5 blocks and that's it. Seems nice but I'm not going to pay 20 bucks a month to view one layer deeper.

I'd love to try this against my spaghetti, but I can't send my company's IP to you or anthropic or anyone else. I'll have to try against open source projects we rely heavily on first.

We'd love to have CodeViz run with local LLMs so you can untangle the spaghetti. The call graph is generated without LLMs or servers - any interest in a 'local only' mode so you can still use CodeViz while keeping your code on-device?

Appreciate the honest feedback! We're working hard to improve CodeViz, please let me know if there are any features you'd love to see.

I cloned pulumi and exported both layers of the CodeViz diagrams into mermaid format: https://github.com/EdisonLabs-Inc/Pulumi-Diagrams/tree/main. I'm not familiar with the repo so let me know if anything looks off. Hope you find these useful!

Not the person you asked, but YES, it's a deal-breaker for me to even consider using at work.

On it! Tracked here: https://github.com/EdisonLabs-Inc/CodeViz-Public/issues/2

I did something like this in chrome devtools a long time ago.

It was fun to look at various sites front end architecture.

I started to do complexity analysis as well, because, why not. But I got busy with actual work.

I wonder if I can dig it back from somewhere.
