Understanding a new codebase can take hours or even days. You open a repository and suddenly you’re staring at thousands of files trying to answer one question: “Where does everything connect?” So I built CodeMap AI — a developer tool that turns any GitHub repository into an interactive architecture map. Just paste a repo URL and it will instantly visualize: • File dependencies • System architecture structure • Circular dependencies • High-impact “hotspot” files • AI explanations for modules and files Instead of manually reading hundreds of files, you can see how the entire system connects in seconds. Tech behind it: • Next.js + React Flow • Node.js + Express • Python FastAPI + NetworkX • PostgreSQL • LLM-powered architecture explanations This can help developers with: • Understanding unfamiliar codebases • Faster onboarding into large projects • Exploring open-source repositories • Planning safer refactors Try it yourself Live Demo: https://lnkd.in/g523A3UC Source Code (GitHub): https://lnkd.in/gCKTrp_S (Note: The live version runs on free-tier servers, so if the service has been idle the first analysis may take ~60-180 seconds to cold start.) I’d love feedback from other developers. Demo video below 👇 #softwareengineering #developertools #opensource #buildinpublic #ai #webdevelopment #github #programming #python #webdevelopment
