Large Python codebase architecture visualization

Developers struggle to understand the high-level structure and architecture of large Python repositories before diving into code. Existing tools explain what code does but don't reveal architectural bottlenecks, God Objects, circular dependencies, or complexity hotspots across multiple files.

“Show HN: A WYSIWYG word processor in Python Hi all, Finding a good data structure for a word processor is a difficult problem. My notebook diaries on the problem go back 25 years when I was frustrated with using Word for my diploma thesis - it was slow and unstable at that time. I ended up getting pretty hooked on the problem. Right now I’m taking a professional break and decided to finally use the time to push these ideas further, and build MiniWord — a WYSIWYG word processor in Python. My goal”

“Show HN: A Satellite View for Python Code Hi HN, I built ast-visualizer.com because I wanted a way to visualize the architecture/structure of a Python repo before dived into the code. Most tools tell you what the code does; I wanted to see how it's built. The Problem: Onboarding onto a large codebase is a nightmare. LLMs help with single functions, but they struggle to show you the God Objects, circular dependencies, or high-complexity hotspots across 50+ files. What it does: Dependenc”
