This is cool, basically the first 3D codebase visualization I've seen that doesn't immediately give me a headache, so good job! :)

Always interesting to see different ways of visualising the same thing. A while ago my friend and I also made a codebase visualisation tool ([https://www.codeatlas.dev/gallery](https://www.codeatlas.dev...), but instead of taking the graph route, we opted for Voronoi treemaps in 2D! It's a tradeoff between form and function for sure, modelling code as a DAG is definitely more powerful for static analysis. However, in most graph-based visualizations (this, gource) I just find myself getting lost super quickly, because the shapes are just not very recognisable.

Really impressed by how polished this already is, nice docs, on-the-fly rendering, congrats!

If I ever find time to work on codebase visualisation again, I might have to steal the idea of codebase entropy to better layout which files to place close to which others!




Ooops, I should take more care pasting links from markdown, this one works: https://codeatlas.dev/gallery
