Vnoder – Instantly Visualize Your Codebase (Graph, Unused, Cyclic, Empty)

Vnoder – Visualize Your Codebase 🚀

If you've ever joined a large project and thought:

"Where do I even start?!" — you're not alone.

When working on codebases with hundreds of files, figuring out:

  • How components are connected
  • Which files are unused
  • Where your dependencies come from

... can be painful.


🐛 The Problem

As projects grow, so does complexity.

Even with good folder structures, finding:

  • Unused files
  • Empty files
  • Cyclic dependencies

... often requires manual searching or running multiple scripts.


🔍 The Solution: Vnoder.com

Vnoder is a free tool that instantly visualizes your codebase.

You can upload your local project or connect GitHub, and in seconds you get:

Interactive graph view of all files and connections

File type filtering (components, utils, pages, hooks, etc.)

Empty / unused / cyclic file detection

Focus mode to analyze just one part of the project

🛠 How It Works

  1. Upload your project folder or link your GitHub repo
  2. Vnoder parses all import / export statements
  3. You get an interactive dependency map
  4. Filter, search, and clean your codebase 🚀

💡 Why I Built It

I was tired of jumping between files just to understand how a project was structured.

Now, I can see the entire architecture at a glance and quickly spot unused or problematic code.
