What are you working on? Any new ideas that you're thinking about?

I'm creating an infinite canvas that has all your organization's code and documentation on it. If you zoom in, you can see the code, if you zoom out you see the big picture. By giving everything a place on the map, it becomes easier to figure out your way through the landscape and understand the systems. Different modes can you show you different things: code age, authorship (bus-factor, is the person still with the company etc), languages used, security issues. There's time-travel, think Gource for all software in your company, and maybe the most fun: a GeoGuessr for code. Select the repos for your team (or if you feel confident, of the entire org), you get a snippet and have to guess where it is. The plan is for LLMs + tree-sitter to analyze all the code and show relations to other systems, databases etc.

I had the idea 2 years ago, but starting building in earnest 2 months ago. Spending all my time on it now, minus 3 or 4 days per week of earning money. Currently looking for a GTM/sales-oriented cofounder in NL.

Sounds like amazing project. Have you considered teaming up with someone from other parts of Europe? BTW checkout https://github.com/codegen-sh/codegen-sdk

Thanks, that seems useful! Too bad my entire backend is in Rust and works directly on git repos instead of checked out code.

I want to build a local company in my city of Utrecht, primarily on-site. That gives me the most energy and fun and is something that I want to optimize for.
