I'm Building htop for Codebases in 5 Days
Every git clone ends the same: 47 files, outdated README, 30 mins wasted.
I'm building peek — pip install peek && peek . → beautiful map in 5 seconds.
What it will do
- What the repo does (auto summary)
- Ranked "Start Here" list
- Import graph
- Tech stack + stats
- Beautiful TUI (Textual) + static mode
Stack
Python, Rich, Textual, AST — ~1k LOC, no bac
Why this?
I analyzed 30+ viral dev tools. Formula is universal pain × instant wow × one-liner install. "Codebase map" is the empty slot.
Timeline
Day 1: Scanner → Day 2: Analyzer → Day 3: Beautiful TUI → Day 4: Polish → Day 5: Launch
Full research done. Code starts tomorrow. Daily updates here.
