Diagramming Typescript
1 project | dev.to | 13 Feb 2022

Many UML-code and code-UML converters already exist, supporting class-based programming languages such as Java and C#. It would be great to see such tools implemented for Typescript. tplant looks like a promising start, though it appears to only support the code-UML direction.
Has UML died without anyone noticing?

Having class diagrams automatically generated is a great way to visualize the code, for example in TypeScript: https://github.com/bafolts/tplant

Im also curious. Im currently having to put together a large system design document together and am struggling to find any solid automation tools.
The most productive tool I've found is: https://github.com/terraform-docs/terraform-docs
Otherwise there is a lot of cloud, K8s, and then microservices + app design (typescript)
Decent:

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.

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 to understand a new code base
1 project | /r/C_Programming | 24 Dec 2022

I've used https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/Sourcetrail in the past for some bits of the legacy code project I'm on. I also use vim and cscope for day to day navigation but it's harder to get a big picture with those alone.

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.
