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 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”

Some general-purpose tools partially address this, but no dominant solution exists yet.

Estimated

Based on heuristics. Will improve as real competition data is collected.
