Codeflower: Visualize repos on GitHub
Codeflower is a Chrome extension developed by Jake Mensch that allows users to visualize repositories on GitHub. By adding a "Codeflower" tab to the navigation bar on github.com, users can easily access and explore repositories in a unique and visual way.
When clicking on the Codeflower tab, users are presented with a d3 force-directed graph that represents the repository. The inner nodes in the graph correspond to the directories within the repository, while the outer nodes represent the files. The size of the outer nodes is proportional to the number of lines of code in the file, giving users a visual representation of the complexity of each file.
Additionally, the color of the outer nodes indicates the programming language in which the file is written. This feature helps users quickly identify different types of files within the repository.
Overall, Codeflower provides a visually appealing and intuitive way to explore GitHub repositories. It enhances the user experience by presenting the repository structure and file information in a clear and interactive manner.
