Ask HN: Anyone use a code to mindmap/flowchart tool?
I wish something existed in this space. I used Coati Software's Sourcetrail for a couple of years. Unfortunately it was discontinued. It was a wonderful piece of software that indexed a code repository, and exposed an interface to explore it interactively. At least for me, it significantly improved the understanding and legibility of code.
The code is in an archived state (https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail). Searching for the software on Google shows some screenshots.

Ask HN: What would an IDE built for the Apple Vision Pro look like?
I think it might make large scale code visualization in a similar way to how SourceTrail does it more feasible: https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail

Tools/software for visualizing code structure/dependencies of large C project.
Yep souecetrail https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail
- Is there a site or extension where to learn C++ by doing, learning more visually?
- “Zoom Out”: The missing feature of IDEs

Tools for Building Symbol Tables from A Source Code File
Sourcetrail?

How to understand a c++ project
You could always try using Sourcetrail. Unfortunately the open source project is now archived but it should still help you get insights into your code.

Programming Breakthroughs We Need
Sourcetrail actually tried to do that for a select few languages https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail
Sadly, they retired the entire project a while back.
- Is there an automated flowcharting software for large c++ projects?
-
Ask HN: Visualizing software designs, especially of large systems (if at all)?
> So, is it a good idea to try documenting the code design through some sort of visualization?
Yes, if it helps you understand how it works and how the pieces fit together.
No, if the previous is not all that useful for you (different types of learners), or you need to spend significant amounts of time doing it manually, especially given that code could change.
If you can, look into any tool that might allow you to get visualizations in an automated manner.
For example, JetBrains IDEs have a few different graph visualizations for dependencies and inheritance etc.: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2022.1/tests-in-ide.html...
There also used to be SourceTrail, though sadly the project is now retired: https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail
For databases, you can also use external tools like DbVis: https://www.dbvis.com/features/
There are also a few tools here and there for visualizing networks or how container deployments look, but those are pretty situational/specific for each platform/setup.
What are some alternatives?
Spotbugs - SpotBugs is FindBugs' successor. A tool for static analysis to look for bugs in Java code.
SonarQube - Continuous Inspection
Error Prone - Catch common Java mistakes as compile-time errors
infer - A static analyzer for Java, C, C++, and Objective-C
PMD - An extensible multilanguage static code analyzer.
SonarJava - :coffee: SonarSource Static Analyzer for Java Code Quality and Security
Checkstyle - Checkstyle is a development tool to help programmers write Java code that adheres to a coding standard. By default it supports the Google Java Style Guide and Sun Code Conventions, but is highly configurable. It can be invoked with an ANT task and a command line program.
Gource - software version control visualization
code2flow - Pretty good call graphs for dynamic languages
