I'm particularly interested in trying out Wandercode. What's a good way for me to follow its development?

Wandercode looks very similar to an idea I had for navigation while working on a task that was 100% code review and comprehension. I wanted similar graph displays for inheritance, and data flow through variables. I envisioned all of this displayed together in a large window, basically with multiple DAGs overlaid on each other in different colors. Now, seeing Wandercode, I imagine a handful of small, "localized" displays, focused on a selected function/class/variable. Any thoughts on that? Or are function calls more interesting for you?
