I built a platform that generates overviews of codebases and creates a map of the codebase dependencies

No GitHub link? Is his saas sales spam?

probably.

strange that OP is not participating in conversation. creates an impression poster were hired to dump spam in this subreddit.

You guys are developers, right? And you use an IDE, right?
So, at what point of your development process are you gzipping your project and send it to some 3rd party platform for analysis? And how often do you then update it on that platform?
My point being is it is never convenient to work with anything in more than 1 tool. Privacy questions aside. If you work with code in 1 place, you will always have to break your routine/flow/whatever and make extra steps every time and switch to another tool to see something there.
Now having that as an extension to IntelliJ Idea / VSC to not make the developer make extra steps and try to make it a seamless part of the development process - could make sense.
It maybe just me. I hope you did your homework with CustDev before building this tool.
Looks like a neat toy though.

Not just you, I agree with your points

I was just wishing for a tool like this the other day! Was working on decoupling some things in a project that is over 7k SLoC and growing, and thought it would be useful to visualize dependencies like this.
Mine is a proprietary project though, so I wouldn't upload it to a third-party platform. I don't suppose there are any plans for an open source / self-hosted version?

Same here. Would try this with self-hosted and open-sourced, even with pay-to-use license. But I definitely need to know where my data is stored and where it goes.
The projects that will feel easy about sharing their codebases with TheSuperFriend will most probably be opensource and free. And since these projects aren't for-profit, they are much less likely to be able/willing to pay. I hope I'm wrong, and TSF does very well.

So like obsidian’s spatial map but for code. That’s cool.
