Diagrams of code can be done with UML ¹. A fairly decent ² standard with a set of different diagrams that can be created to visualize code.

In those terms CodeViz will provide a form of simplified class diagrams and a function call mapping?

Will there be sequence diagrams in the future?

¹ https://www.uml.org/ ² It has fallen out of fashion, since many people found it too heavy, and a lot of people have hever heard of it.

Yes, we'd like to introduce more standard rules and visual notations as provided by UML. Did you get a chance to try the call graph? It contains functions and classes in one view. We're going to give the user control over the call graph's scope (whether to show functions, classes, files, etc), which would be closer to simplified class diagrams/function call mapping.

The info in sequence diagrams is useful - maybe we can show this using a hierarchical layout & edge labels

Hi Liam - can't seem to see a call graph. I've sent a report, but wasn't sure what to expect, as your site has a nice preview of the architectuer graph, but not the call graph functionality. Perhaps add a second preview? $19 does seem a little steep. Would it be possible to have a lower cost with a user supplied 3rd party LLM service key?

Thanks for the report, following up now. We'll make some updates to our website asap. Preview of the call graph can be seen in our video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgfDXUtWzRk. Happy to chat about reduced subscription price.

I created an issue for user provided API keys, tracked here: https://github.com/EdisonLabs-Inc/CodeViz-Public/issues/3
