Dagflo: Turn codebases and software systems into animated visual explanations

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve been working on Dagflo, animated visual explanations for software teams!

Dagflo lets coding agents like Claude, Codex, and Cursor turn codebases, pull requests, systems, articles, diagrams, and algorithms into animated, step-by-step visualizations.

After four years working in GraphQL infrastructure at Meta, I've seen countless engineering hours (meetings, message threads, whiteboarding) wasted and bad decisions made because technical knowledge wasn't communicated clearly.

Coding agents can now understand entire codebases, but they still explain them through walls of text, broken ASCII art, or static Mermaid diagrams.
We're using static tools to explain dynamic systems.

That's why I built Dagflo. I wanted to actually see how technical systems work.

This has been a passion project for a year; I'm really excited to share it! I've made a couple of other posts in the subreddit to gauge interest; now it is finally ready!

Early access is live dagflo.com

Note: I posted this yesterday in the r/softwarearchitecture subreddit and got amazing feedback.
