For on-boarding, we've been working on https://usecodeflow.com, which is a way to create walkthroughs of your codebase for newly on-boarded engineers. We've found that these walkthroughs are very helpful for developers to start asking deeper questions about a codebase.

Feel free to reach out to me at rishabh@usecodeflow.com

We work on https://usecodeflow.com, which is a way to capture the way code logically flows (especially used for new-hires to learn a new codebase). Feel free to email me in my profile if you want to chat!

We are planning on releasing a self-hosted solution! We'd love to get in touch to make sure it fills your needs. Could you email us at usecodeflow@gmail.com?

Sorry about that - looks like we are getting rate limited by Github. We are moving our tutorial over to Gitlab to avoid this issue.

Great idea on the screenshots! We are adding that in now.

We are actually getting rate-limited by Github on our example tutorial :/ Moving it over to Gitlab should fix that problem

Sorry, the deploy just went through a few minutes ago, let me know if you are still seeing it though :)

Sorry about that! You shouldn't need to be logged in to Github to view a tutorial on a public repo. Can you try again now? We've fixed this and just pushed a fix!

One common theme we found between our onboarding experiences is that it was often difficult to start working on a project. Typically we went through many rounds of discussions to actually understand the flow of the code. Tools like Dropbox Paper and Confluence are great at communicating high-level specifications for engineers, but fail to capture nuances needed for new engineers to continue developing.

Codeflow is our attempt at a solution. It allows engineers to easily build powerpoint-like tutorials, which focus on stepping through the code logically. We hope it can become a centralized repository of tutorials designed to capture an engineer's thought process and make ramp up more efficient.

Here's an example of a tutorial built using Codeflow:

At this stage, we're hoping for feedback as we try to validate this approach. Any and all thoughts are appreciated.
