{"id":83115,"title":"📍🗺️ CodeViz - Visual map \u0026 GPS for your codebase","tagline":"We build codebase maps for developers","body":"**TL;DR:** CodeViz builds a visual map of your codebase that makes it easy to understand and navigate. Software engineers spend 70% their day reading existing code to gather context - we’re fixing that. \n\n**Our Ask:** Try our [VS Code Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeViz.codeviz#review-details), [tell us](https://calendly.com/liam-codeviz/15min) what you think, or [set up](https://calendly.com/liam-codeviz/15min) CodeViz for your team!\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=83115\u0026key=user_uploads/885544/6ee8d3c7-0363-426c-ac46-c0a861aa4f7e)\n\n---\n\n---\n\n---\n\n—\n\nHi everyone, we’re [Liam](https://www.linkedin.com/in/liam-prevelige/) and [Will](https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamlmccall/), and we’re building CodeViz, the dev tool we wish we had at Tesla. From potato cannons to arbitrage bots, we’ve been hacking projects together since we met at Dartmouth 5 years ago.\n\n### ❗The Problem:\n\nLike most developers, Will and I were frustrated that 70% of our time was spent reading existing code to gather context, instead of actually writing code.\n\n### 🛠️ Our Solution:\n\nOur VS Code extension creates an interactive map of codebases - from high-level system architecture to function calls. Our goal is to give all developers the deep contextual knowledge that’s core to 10x engineers.\n\nEngineers from Amazon, Roblox, and Microsoft are already using CodeViz to quickly understand and navigate code.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=83115\u0026key=user_uploads/885544/c3dbf88d-250b-4976-a701-375f4883d2cc)\n\nNavigate through the actual flow of your code, rather than file structure.\n\n### Our Ask: Try Codeviz!\n\n* Install [CodeViz](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeViz.codeviz#review-details) from the VS Code Marketplace and give it a spin in your projects.\n* Schedule a [chat](https://calendly.com/liam-codeviz/15min) to learn about our business and enterprise packages.\n\nIf you hear your friends or co-founders complaining about navigating, organizing, or understanding code, please send them our way!\n\nReach out anytime:\n\n[liam@codeviz.ai](mailto:liam@codeviz.ai) | [will@codeviz.ai](mailto:will@codeviz.ai)\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=83115\u0026key=user_uploads/885544/427fd052-e909-40cc-ba4a-e103353612ac)\n\nWill and I at Dartmouth’s graduation last year","slug":"LcZ-codeviz-visual-map-gps-for-your-codebase","created_at":"2024-08-16T14:25:38.466Z","updated_at":"2026-04-14T03:41:30.798Z","total_vote_count":91,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/LcZ-codeviz-visual-map-gps-for-your-codebase","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=83115\u0026key=user_uploads/885544/c3dbf88d-250b-4976-a701-375f4883d2cc","company":{"id":29683,"name":"CodeViz","slug":"codeviz","url":"https://www.codeviz.ai/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/3b3886b4eeec86b01eb6eb8ba6e07dd24f7af701.png","batch":"Summer 2024","industry":"B2B","tags":["Artificial Intelligence","Developer Tools","Productivity"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/29683"}}
