Show HN: Mind-expander, a visual workspace for coding with AI agents
Mind-expander is a visual workspace designed to enhance coding with AI agents by providing an interactive code map. It supports languages like Rust and TypeScript, allowing developers to visualize code structures and relationships. The tool aims to improve code review and architectural discussions by offering a shared visual context for users and AI agents.
- ▪Mind-expander turns a codebase into an interactive code map for developers working with AI agents.
- ▪It extracts structural facts from Rust and TypeScript and renders them as a browser diagram.
- ▪The tool is designed to be driven by an AI coding agent, allowing for natural language queries.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
mind-expander A shared visual workspace for understanding and steering code with AI agents. mind-expander turns a codebase into an interactive code map for developers working with AI agents. Instead of reading another long explanation, you and the agent can look at the same source-backed graph: modules, types, calls, dependencies, ownership-like relationships, and the parts of the system changed by a refactor or PR. It supports Rust and TypeScript today, with more language frontends planned. The goal is a shared visual workspace for understanding, reviewing, and steering code that is increasingly written with AI.
