Show HN: graf (1000x faster graphify in Rust)

I liked the idea of graphify, but for large repos the search queries were visibly very slow.

I dug into it and saw an opportunity to make it better.

It is rewritten in rust and uses sqlite instead of NetworkX.

There is a command to migrate from graphify or set up from scratch.

Let me know what you think!

Hey I tried this. With traditional graphify, it took 15-20 min to map out my 15 repos, here i was able to map in approx 5 min. Still will have to use with agents to see the results for a full comparison.
