After getting the top spot in What Are You Working On in Feb 2025 ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43157056 ) I started a company on that idea at https://getcomper.ai . After solo building for 11 months I found a co-founder, got an angel investment, then got some ex-Miro folk on board and we are now building the product at breakneck speed.

We're a collaborative canvas + context engine for all the code and docs in your company, with a zoomable UI + CLI , where you can collaborate with your co-workers and agents.

We map technical debt, agent readiness, code complexity, security scanning, bus factor and more, so you can easily see how all the software in your company runs.

One of the most complex things is our incremental git blame engine built on top of GitOxide, as our backend is fully built on Rust. Our frontend is built on PixiJS so you can explore at gaming speed with 60Hz refresh rates.

Recently we sponsored Rust Week in Europe and a hundred or so developers tried our mini-game which is GeoGuessr for code, and got rave reviews. Future is looking bright!

That's a pretty neat idea. What does "map technical debt, agent readiness, code complexity" look like? How does that get done?

		we do a very comprehensive scan in multiple dimensions: git blame history, llm passes over every file and a tree-sitter analysis for cognitive complexity. We bring our opinionated approach for tools (do you have linters, CI/CD, static typing, agent docs) and score each aspect. We also create your architecture diagrams with our secret agent sauce, and map technical debt on each level of the C4 hierarchy.

Are you doing a bespoke canvas engine or using tldraw/excalidraw?

		bespoke canvas (based on pixijs) + sync engine. We want to be fully on-prem capable.
