by•
cotect is a fast, read-first code inspector for the agent era: watch AI-written changes land in your repo live, navigate them on an infinite canvas, and review every hunk before it ships.

Worked on this primarily because I was frustrated with not being able to quickly orient myself in agent-first projects. The longer I build, the less I understand the architcture. Cotect aims to fix this - you don't have to review everything but it allows you to build intuition how things work quickly. Also, moving through a repository with WASD is very fun!
@grzracz The WASD navigation is a clever UX detail that actually matters for how quickly you can build mental models of a codebase. The frustration you're describing—losing architectural clarity as complexity grows—is real, especially as agent workflows add more layers. This addresses a genuine pain point that existing tools don't really solve well.

@saulfleischman Thanks for the kind words :) yeah - I noticed the keyboard is now underutilized in most IDEs so I repurposed it for movement. When you get some experience with cotect it's really quick to look through the repo to see exactly what you need
