Devin is amazing for code generation and automation - Codemap is focused on helping teams understand large codebases: visual architecture, AI docs, bug analysis, and team knowledge retention.

Thanks for the kind words! Yes - landing is up at code-map.com, but looks like my hosting was a bit hammered before - I'll check it. Glad the video helped explain it - I'm still refining the landing page.

Good questions — here's some clarification:

1. License / model dependency Codemap doesn't require a license from a major model provider - it's designed to work with local models (Ollama, open-source LLMs), or users can plug in external APIs (OpenAI, Claude) if they want. The core parsing/analysis/graphing is independent of any one model.

2. Open source? Codemap itself is not open source - it's a commercial B2B product. Some parts (like parsers) may use OSS components, but the overall system is proprietary.

3. How are new languages added? Language support is modular: each new language needs a parser + chunker to feed the AI layer. Java is fully supported today. JS/TS are next. Python, PHP planned.

Thanks so much! Yes, we’re aiming to go deeper than just code chat - combining AI with structural diagrams and project insights to help teams understand architecture and workflows faster.

And we’re starting to onboard small teams for testing - happy to chat if this could be useful for your team!

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for your comment! Will make some changes on the main page, thanks for expaining about "Bugger", didn't know that :)
