### Company Launches

[### 📍🗺️ CodeViz - Visual map & GPS for your codebase](

**TL;DR:** CodeViz builds a visual map of your codebase that makes it easy to understand and navigate. Software engineers spend 70% their day reading existing code to gather context - we’re fixing that.

**Our Ask:** Try our [VS Code Extension]( [tell us]( what you think, or [set up]( CodeViz for your team!

Hi everyone, we’re [Liam]( and [Will]( and we’re building CodeViz, the dev tool we wish we had at Tesla. From potato cannons to arbitrage bots, we’ve been hacking projects together since we met at Dartmouth 5 years ago.

### ❗The Problem:

Like most developers, Will and I were frustrated that 70% of our time was spent reading existing code to gather context, instead of actually writing code.

### 🛠️ Our Solution:

Our VS Code extension creates an interactive map of codebases - from high-level system architecture to function calls. Our goal is to give all developers the deep contextual knowledge that’s core to 10x engineers.

Engineers from Amazon, Roblox, and Microsoft are already using CodeViz to quickly understand and navigate code.



Navigate through the actual flow of your code, rather than file structure.

### Our Ask: Try Codeviz!

*   Install [CodeViz]( from the VS Code Marketplace and give it a spin in your projects.
*   Schedule a [chat]( to learn about our business and enterprise packages.

If you hear your friends or co-founders complaining about navigating, organizing, or understanding code, please send them our way!
