Hey Product Hunt community! 👋

I'm Chandru, the creator of RepoLens.

I started building RepoLens because understanding an unfamiliar codebase can be surprisingly time-consuming. Developers often spend hours navigating files, tracing dependencies, identifying APIs, and figuring out how different components fit together.

I wanted to build something that could make this process easier.

With RepoLens, I'm working towards bringing repository intelligence, architecture analysis, dependency exploration, API extraction, database insights, and interactive visualizations into one platform.

This project has been a great learning experience, involving software architecture, backend engineering, language analysis, testing, and open-source collaboration.

But I know there's still plenty of room to improve.

I'd particularly love feedback on:

  • Which programming languages should I prioritise?

  • What analysis capabilities are missing?

  • What would make RepoLens useful in your daily development workflow?

  • What improvements would make you recommend it to your team?

I'm looking forward to learning from this community and making RepoLens better.

Thanks for checking it out! 🚀
