Reflex's codebase visualization.

[ivanmilevtues]

Hey all,

I have generated a visualization of the reflex codebase: https://github.com/CodeBoarding/GeneratedOnBoardings/blob/main/reflex/on_boarding.md

Me and a friend are trying to build something which can help both maintainers and contributors with the "on-boarding"/"get-to-know" steps of a codebase. We belive that abstract component diagrams are the way to go, so that is what we generate with the help of static analysis and LLMs! We think that with such diagrams most of the contirbutors can get context on how the full codebase functions and then they can focus only on the component they are interested in.

Would love to hear what do you think of diagram first documentation! Any feedback is more than welcome! We've also just introduced a free github action which can update the diagrams on every merge in main, so it is not a burdon for maintainers :)

Full disclosure: we're trying to turn this into a startup, but we're still in a very early stage and figuring out what will actually be useful for people.

Hey all, a quick update on our side, we've just released our diagram generation engine as an open-source repo: https://github.com/CodeBoarding/CodeBoarding. If you want more details on how the generation works, you can find it over there!

Very cool!

I am down to do a PR if you are interested to have one of these diagrams in your repo. I will integrate our free github action to keep the diagrams up-to-date every week as well :)
