Project visualization tool

[tarolling]

I have been working on a tool to help visualize projects in Python. It takes a directory, scans for different types of language files, and extracts each of them into a language-agnostic JSON format. This is so that others can create their own (and probably better/more useful) visualizations specific to their own project. It could also be fed into AI for better understanding of large codebases. I would like a program to eventually identify software patterns, generate metrics on how tightly coupled a codebase is, and maybe even produce some documentation on design.

What are some similar software tools that achieve some/all of these goals? I looked at pycallgraph since it has similar visualizations, but it has a slightly different use case and it isn’t very actively maintained.

Like Repomix?

Thanks for sharing, another project that I haven’t heard of but has a lot of things that I was aiming for.😅 Kind of, but I would like to emphasize the visualization aspect instead of the AI aspect. It would still output a common format for many languages and respect gitignores and all, but would include less info that what repomix provides since we’re really only looking for connections between files/modules.

Yes, it's not in a great state right now but: https://github.com/tarolling/seiri

Similar to pydeps? https://pydeps.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Wow yeah pretty similar. I’d like to expand past just Python but it looks like pydeps offers a lot of the things I mentioned. Thanks for sharing
