Help Me Build a Better Way to Understand Codebases

Hey! I’m a solo dev building a tool to make understanding unfamiliar codebases suck less. I’m building a small tool to make that less painful. Just 5 quick questions below

🙏 Thanks for being awesome!

How do you usually explore and understand a new codebase?

What’s the most frustrating part about understanding unfamiliar code?

Would it be useful if a tool could trace how a feature works (e.g., login/logout), and automatically generate a visual flow (HLD/LLD), show related API contracts, track variable/data flow, and highlight key code snippets involved?

How big is your codebase/team?

I'm working solo on this — if you're curious to try the first version, you can leave your email below. Only if you're comfortable!
