I've tried it, but it's very slow on a not too complex codebase with my M3 Macbook Air.

It was like 5-10FPS at best, not really usable unfortunately because I like these tools.

I'm using another similar one which is buttery smooth, Code Canvas.

We are actively improving on the performance! Also, I am a previous code canvas user too, but I felt like it didn't help me understand my codebase as much as I wanted it to.. that's why I decided to experiment something myself! :)

Thanks, CC is really helpful already for me the more tools like these exists, the better. With AI coding agents, I keep watching the visualization rather than the changeset first.
