Hi HN! I wanted to share this tool that I created in order to try to track technical debt, and get some sort of overview of a code-base's health, quality, and maintainability. I know from work how difficult it can be to get maintenance, improvements, and refactoring efforts to be prioritized, especially without any concrete numbers/KPIs on how it will impact a product. So that's why I wanted to share this tool, which should aid in such situations, at least by bringing some numbers to the table. I wanted to write the tool in rust so that it could handle large code-bases in a fast manner, since those are also the code-bases that are most likely to have a higher amount of technical debt. In the future, I hope to extend the functionality so that the tools can analyze code-base that use a wide-range of different languages (maybe by taking advantage of existing syntax highlighting grammar files?). Please feel free to leave any comments below, or open any issues/feature-requests in the repo. I'm very open to feedback, and look forward to hearing from y'all. |
