RepoTale Makes Codebases Read Like Interactive Stories
An open-source tool that turns a repository into a chaptered AST call graph with synchronized narrative and visual navigation.
Field notes
RepoTale ingests a repository through a sanitized shallow clone, extracts symbols and call sites with Tree-sitter, and builds a chapter-based architecture tour beside a React Flow canvas. Its own demonstration identifies src/main.tsx as the entry point and shows three chapters, including sandboxed git ingestion and bidirectional scroll-to-node navigation. The page also exposes implementation excerpts such as the GitSandbox clone routine and lists Tauri 2, React 18, and Tree-sitter among the project technologies.
