I wonder if this can somehow be used as a tool for quick visual inspection of architecture compliance. Maybe the size of the box could be selected before display to denote a custom metric. For example, if the size of the box for each file was proportional to the (number_of_lines_edited) * (current_date - file_creation_date), then modularity could demand that the size of the boxes remain small. (pardon the musings of a non software engineer on a Saturday night)

The size of the boxes is fairly customisable on the back end, the webpage just needs to be sent the right JSON data, and the only real criteria is that the size of each directory is the sum of the sizes of its children.
