  • shotglass

    Tools to visualize large code bases in different ways.

  • This is close to my heart :) I've been toying with a codebase visualizer, "Shotglass". It's unique that it shows a pixel _for every single line of code_, thus showing the overall structure. Functions can be individually colored, e.g. to show code complexity.
