Very nice tool Jon!
Do you know about bela.live? I learned that it also creates C4 diagrams from code using AI.
I'm building a tool to help developers understand legacy code by identifying with AI the features implemented in the code, and then displaying these features on a map along with their hierarchy and traceability to code. It's a visual feature-first approach to document software.

I would love to hear your thoughts about it!
- Jonverrier 2y agoHi, I had a look at Bela.live. Thanks for the link, it’s obviously very comprehensive. Philosophically, I don’t think these tools should be storing things in their own database - I think the diagrams / markup should be going back to the repo in a format the LLMs can then use for further context. Your tool is nice, and there is definitely mileage here. I think though if I am honest, my view is the same as with Bela.live : the features you extract should be able to go back to the repo / made available to the models once the developer / product engineer has validated them. I think that tools that can’t open up fully to bring the models into the workflow as first class participants will be overtaken by those that do.
