Weekend Project: Dependency Graph Visualizer

I want to build a tool that takes a codebase and visualizes its dependency graph — modules, imports, which files depend on which. For fun, for learning. Maybe open-source it.

What I have so far

• Rough idea: point it at a repo, get an interactive graph
• Stack I'm leaning toward: TypeScript + D3 or Cytoscape for rendering
• Potential: could work for JS/TS first, maybe Python later

What I don't know yet

• How to make the visualization actually useful vs just pretty
• Whether this should be a CLI, a web tool, or a VS Code extension
• What would make someone else want to use it
