Understanding a new codebase can be painful.
Folders inside folders. Files everywhere. Who touched what? Where does this module connect?
So I built Structviz — a tool that turns GitHub repositories into interactive visual diagrams so developers can explore architecture, collaboration, and structure at a glance.
What Structviz Does
Structviz helps you:
• 🔍 Visualize repositories as graphs
• 🔄 Change node directions & layouts
• ✏️ Click nodes to open and edit files
• 👥 See the last contributor with hover details
• 📊 Analyze collaborator activity with percentages & charts
• 🎨 Switch between multiple themes
The goal is simple: help developers understand complex projects faster — especially when onboarding, refactoring, or auditing architecture.
Why I Built This
I work with large repositories often, and every time I joined a new project I wished for a faster way to see the system instead of mentally mapping folders and files.
Structviz started as that idea — and slowly grew into something I now use myself.

I’d genuinely love feedback from the dev community — feature ideas, UX suggestions, or things you think are missing.
If you maintain open-source projects, I’m especially curious whether this would help contributors onboard faster.
Thanks for reading 🙌
Happy building.
