This looks cool. Indexing node_modules feels like the wrong default. I waited several minutes with cpu at 100 after startup for a fairly small React project.

And maybe the free tree could start at a more useful place? index.js or App.jsx or App.vue? In my case, the 100 functions are all instrumentation and polyfills, which doesn't give me much sense of the potential utility.

In a Django project, I see...nothing.

Good luck! This seems like it could be useful.

Thanks, points well taken! I think parsing .gitignore plus some basic exclusion like node_modules would be a good start. For the free version, you're totally right that it should pick 100 functions that are more interesting to play with. To avoid assuming the project structure like App.vue, I'll probably prioritize showing connected components with the most nodes. Sorry for the issue on Django projects, I'll test it out and see what's going on there.
