Yeah dude, take my money. I can't believe what I'm seeing. You've actually given me a reason to use a second monitor again.

#72Since you are asking for feedback, I would seriously consider buying licenses for my team if: - We are allowed to use our own API key to get your extension to talk directly with our LLM of choice. I understand you are using Claude right now, but we are on OpenAI & Copilot; since we already went through the hoops of "accepting that our codebase will be sent to an LLM", we are trying to control the level of exposure.

what is the price? After looking at the website or the marketplace, I can't see any pricing at all (except the "free" on the marketplace page)
> I understand you are using Claude right now
On the marketplace page it says "We do use LLMs and sections of code to prompt Claude/OpenAI." under "Data & Privacy"

#73There are so many cool projects for working with code repos posted on HN that I will never get to enjoy at work, because my repo is google3, and it has like 40 million files and 100 million classes. Oh well.

#74I personally don’t like VS Code although if this works well I might open it just for this feature. I’d still be coding and taking notes in emacs though. Any thoughts on putting most of the smarts into a server process so that any editor can have a plug-in that talks to it?
Definitely an interesting thought, although we wouldn't be able to support any UI/UX. We could host a separate utility and expose endpoints for UML or markdown though.
Please do consider it! I would love to have this feature in emacs and would be willing to write an implementation if this bit was done.

i wonder how many of these innovative early projects will eventually be a forcing function for FAANG to shed engineers that want to stay on top of the latest stuff. but then again, golden handcuffs are real so maybe not

Was looking for that too. The only way I found out was installing it, create a call graph, and the first click took me to a payment page. $19,95/month iirc
I too would prefer to have this information upfront.
Also, not being able to click past the first layer in the free version is a bit too limited in my opinion.
Sounds promising, but having to fill out my payment details for a trial version is a a hard no for me.

Should we let users choose which folders they want analyzed and leave all selected by default?

Thanks for providing context on the LLM approval process! User provided API keys will be completed by the end of the week: https://github.com/EdisonLabs-Inc/CodeViz-Public/issues/3
> The price is too steep. I get way more value out of Copilot than I get from CodeViz which is similarly priced.
Copilot is a great product and inexpensive, I do understand where you're coming from. Personally, I spend most of my time reading code and gathering context vs typing code. We hope to provide much more than $19/mo in value, so the subscription is a good signal for whether we're making something useful for you. We also have more features for team licenses that we haven't publicized.
The reduced subscription price for using your own API key does make sense though. If you send me an email or message me on discord I'd be happy to chat this over. This goes for anyone with a strong opinion on the matter

Yes, we need to be much more clear. It's not intentionally hard to find, we just been distracted with bugs and haven't had time to update the website. The subscription didn't exist until a couple of days ago. The layered architecture is a feature that we made public specifically for the HN community
> Having to fill out my payment details for a trial version is a a hard no for me
We'd love to embed a demo repo for people to play with, or let users generate nested architecture for one repo before having to subscribe

To generate second layer of architecture diagram, $19/mo subscription with a 7 day free trial. The call graph and top layer of the architecture diagram are free. We'll update our website and the extension with pricing info asap. The subscription didn't exist until a couple of days ago, since layered architecture is a feature that we made public specifically for HN to try.
We only use Anthropic at the moment, but we left OpenAI in the Data & Privacy in case we change models (not in the foreseeable future)
