Visualization for the Pillow codebase

[ivanmilevtues]

Hey all,

I am Ivan and I've noticed that most of my time is spend on getting to know codebases. This however can be quite challenging at the very begining when you don't know pretty much anything about certain project. This said me and a friend are trying to help this process. We think the best way to get to know a new codebase is through visualizations thus we are trying to build something based on Static Analysis and LLMs which can generate high-level diagrams, which one can recursively explore for the components that are of interest.

I generated one for the Pillow project, you can check it here: https://github.com/CodeBoarding/GeneratedOnBoardings/blob/main/Pillow/on_boarding.md

I would love to hear what is your opinion on diagram first documentation, anu feedback is more than welcome!

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.

A quick update: CodeBoarding's engine for diagram generation is open-source now - https://github.com/CodeBoarding/CodeBoarding!
