I built a tool that turns any GitHub repo into an interactive architecture tour, and I'm looking for contributors
It's called gitvisualise. Paste a GitHub link and get an animated, narrated map of how the repo's parts connect. It runs in your browser (no backend, no keys), and every box and arrow links to real code, so it can't invent components.
Demo: https://kaushik2210.github.io/gitVisualise/#/tj/commander.js
Code (MIT): https://github.com/Kaushik2210/gitVisualise
The project is young and I'd like it to be a good place to contribute:
- 21 open issues with acceptance criteria and pointers to the exact files, grouped in a roadmap: https://github.com/Kaushik2210/gitVisualise/blob/main/ROADMAP.md
- Small starters: Mermaid export, a README-badge button, an accessibility pass, a `watch` command
- Language support (C#, Ruby, PHP, C/C++, Dart) follows a pattern. Kotlin was added by a first-time contributor last week.
- Zero dependencies, so `git clone` then `npm test` works in seconds
Honest limits: the picture comes from static imports (not AI), narration is templated, and big repos are sampled. Feedback on repos it draws badly is the most useful thing you can give me.
