πŸš€ Why We Built NekoCode

Have you ever had these experiences in modern development?
Bash

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» Developer Struggles

  • "I don't know the scope of this PR's impact..."
  • "Did I just create a circular dependency?"
  • "I'm worried if the code complexity has increased."
  • "I'm concerned about missing something in the review."

NekoCode solves these problems in under a second.

πŸ’‘ What is NekoCode?

NekoCode is a Rust-based code analysis tool that achieves 16x faster performance by integrating Tree-sitter.

πŸ’Ž The Real-World Impact

Before: The Limits of Manual Review

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» "What's the scope of impact for this function change?"
πŸ€” "30 minutes spent with grep..."
😰 "Worrying about missing a bug."

After: Adopting NekoCode

πŸ€– "Impact analysis complete (0.3s)."
πŸ“Š "12 files, 23 locations affected."
βœ… "No circular dependencies, low risk."

Result: 90% reduction in review time & improved bug detection rate.
