recently i read many posts on building a graph for codebase.

why suddenly this becomes popular?

is there a recent breakthough that leads this trend?

I couldn't find architecture.yaml in the repo.

The idea is very great to have a codebase visualizer because we can see through the architecture through the codebase

pretty crazy stuff. i have been looking at different options to include. does it work on C++ codebases? also do you provide support or plan to maintain it long term? so far i'm looking at some graph based solutions. btw if you want to see if it can integrate with this architecture https://github.com/ByteAsk/byteask-extensions

Is there a way to visualize the code paths on a more meaningful level than line references?

I would think an LLM would be useful for explaining behavior, whereas visualizing code references can be done with no AI at all.

I watched the 1:30 video and didn't see a single code visualization. Not one.

The closest was a "visualization" of a single, unconnected node that can be moved around — all by its lonesome self — on a canvas. For some reason.

  • Does this tool work with non compiling code?
