code-map.com timing out. appears to be a nice start, from video.

does code-map requires license from major model provider?

also, is code-map open source? how are new languages added?

Thanks for the kind words! Yes - landing is up at code-map.com, but looks like my hosting was a bit hammered before - I'll check it. Glad the video helped explain it - I'm still refining the landing page.

Good questions — here's some clarification:

1. License / model dependency Codemap doesn't require a license from a major model provider - it's designed to work with local models (Ollama, open-source LLMs), or users can plug in external APIs (OpenAI, Claude) if they want. The core parsing/analysis/graphing is independent of any one model.

2. Open source? Codemap itself is not open source - it's a commercial B2B product. Some parts (like parsers) may use OSS components, but the overall system is proprietary.

3. How are new languages added? Language support is modular: each new language needs a parser + chunker to feed the AI layer. Java is fully supported today. JS/TS are next. Python, PHP planned.
