A short demonstration of how to use AppMaps to shorten the time it takes to get productive on a new-to-you codebase.
I use the open source extension for VS Code called AppMap, and the ecommerce Rails application Solidus as an example.
AppMap works by recording the code execution paths of your app. A good way to create AppMaps is by recording unit, functional or integration test cases.
To check it out search for 'AppMap' in the VS Code extensions tab or in the VS Code marketplace.

Sequence diagrams are one of the best tools for developers and technical non-developers (like engineering managers and product managers) to use when discussing code design. Their inherent structure - objects flowing across the page, time flowing down the page - is intuitive and easy to learn.

Looks nice. Any plans to support JS or Typescript?
Yes! Someone stepped up to create a js client. His name is Laurent, and he produced the first js AppMap a few days ago. Still early but if you want to cheer him on, he hangs out in the #appmap-js channel on our Discord. discord.gg/uKtMXf4a
