I've used it only for personal projects so far, so admittedly I have not yet used it on a large codebase. But from what I've used it for so far, it's pretty sweet.

As far as I understand it, it will work really nicely for large repos that has code all in the same language. What I'm not super clear on is if it's able to help detect upstream/downstream dependencies where variables or data are shared between different languages or frameworks. So maybe you have some React code, and in order to integrate with some other non-React code let's say you end up exposing some JavaScript variables to the window, and then those variables are used by a different script of vanilla JS or even in some PHP or something. For an instance like that, I'm not sure how well CodeSee can track those dependencies.
