Who for
Software developers
Business model
Pro features, enterprise licenses
Effort
A few weeks

Git's linear history view obscures important parallel development stories. Developers waste time reconstructing how features evolved.

Build an interactive DAG visualizer that highlights meaningful branches, merges, and refactors using novel visualization techniques.

Monetize through IDE plugin sales and enterprise team features.

Start with a basic web-based renderer for small repos.

Challenge: Needs to handle massive histories without lag.
