I created pyreplay, to study full codebases fast. What do you think?

Hello folks,

I have been getting your emails for years, and it is always good content. Thanks a lot!

Now, I wanted to share with you a tool I created to study codebases and python code in general. As you know, there is a bottleneck with LLMs, they generate code very fast and studying that code is not easy, you get a lot of folders, each folder contains a lot of interconnected files…and digesting and grasping all of that is quite slow. To make that process fast this may be useful:

Now, that was the original idea, inspect unknown codebases fast. But today I thought, this also may be useful for learning coding, as it makes code structure and execution very explicit and visual, shareable as html.

Now, who am I? Just a beginner coder using Fable, so I paid for the most expensive tier for 1 month, and have used mostly for developing this tool. Why do I explain this? Because I am going to need some time to digest it, there are close to 130 features and understanding how to get the most out of each one will take time, and many codebases.

Why am I posting it here? Because I don’t have that expensive tier anymore, to me that is a lot, an I could not finish the last 12 features, which you can find under “CONTRIBUTING.md”.

Well, I would appreciate any feedback guys.

Good day!

you can share what you have built, but please do not take this sharing as a “please write the code for me”

If you need help, ask your questions

You are right ILM, sorry about that. It seems that I can’t edit it. I would simply remove what was not finished and leave it as “this is it, enjoy”.
