Show HN: GitHub project structure visualizer

What would that look/behave like? I ask because I'm starting out on making some tooling for gaining insights into coupling and coherence in ruby, and I'm at a brainstorming phase.

E.g. automatic domain concept detection and suggested refactorings around domain concepts.

Re-organizing file systems into virtual filesystems based on multiple views/perspectives on the project, etc.

Any ideas you have would be really good timing to hear about

Not really regarding what, but on the how front, I remember that one guy invented what he called "hive plots", and he seems to be claiming they're some kind of a panaceum to so called "hairball" plots:

(His (?) earlier invention of a "circular graph" seems also to have gained some traction in sciency publications - see http://circos.ca/intro/circular_approach/)

How about an Oculus Rift app with a 3D circuit?

I honestly think "writing" code in 3d with VR could be incredibly effective. I'm starting to work on a project to test it out.
