Show HN: Onboard-CLI, a LLM powered and AST-based tool to visualize codebase
- moezd 3mo agoI couldn't find architecture.yaml in the repo.
- yr_animesh 3mo agoThe architecture.yaml file is created in the root directory if you are not able to make that use this command onboard init --template clean-architecture

- joe-esquibel 3mo agoDoes this tool work with non compiling code?
- yr_animesh 3mo agoNice question you are free to check it!!! If there are any issues in it you can contribute to it

- mthoms 3mo agoI 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.
- yr_animesh 3mo agoYou can check out the (onboard map --target ) command which will build a local react app to visualize the codebase
- XUEYANZ 3mo agorecently i read many posts on building a graph for codebase. why suddenly this becomes popular? is there a recent breakthough that leads this trend?
- csh0 3mo agoInterest has risen in tandem with the popularity of LLMs. I have worked on these sorts of things as part of internal tooling. Sometimes these strategies are used to provide LLMs with a greater understanding of your codebase to improve code generation results. Additionally, techniques which allow humans to visualize the shape of code are being explored as engineers become less familiar with the specific implementation.
- ImPostingOnHN 3mo agoIs 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.
- yr_animesh 3mo agoI think i can create a issue and you can contribute this specific feature
- anirudhak47 3mo agopretty 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 https://github.com/ByteAsk/byteask-extensions
- yr_animesh 3mo agoCurrently I'm working on to implement for C++ codebase and yes I'm going to maintain it for a long term I have also made it open sourced if you want some improvements I can create an issue and then you can contribute to it. I looked to your product we can work together to integrate both the products!!!
- potatoBaker 3mo agoThe idea is very great to have a codebase visualizer because we can see through the architecture through the codebase
- yr_animesh 3mo agoYeah I am trying to reduce the developer effort in manually finding out the routes in backend or finding out how many files will get impacted if i ran some refactoring of code
