near instant architecture diagrams
to visualize your codebases
A pannable, zoomable canvas of the actual systems behind your work — every service, database, library, and decision pinned and labeled. Visitors get a 30-second summary; engineers get the wiring.
Real systems, mapped by the people who built them.
A handful of public boards — open them, pan around, click a node to read the trade-offs in the author’s own words.
Network call vs build dependency vs subprocess.
Every connection has a meaning. Filter the canvas to one type and the rest fades — the wiring becomes legible, even on systems with hundreds of edges.
Why X over Y, in your words.
The Decisions tab is sacred — AI never writes here. It’s the part of your portfolio that proves you thought, not just shipped. Recruiters skim the wiring; engineers read the trade-offs.
Build version, last commit, deploy time — pulled from the source.
Boards stay current without you. GitHub, Vercel, Steam, itch.io feed live status into every node. Visitors see what’s shipping right now, not what shipped last quarter.
What developers are saying.
I used to lose half a recruiter call explaining what my project actually does. Now they open the board and skim it themselves.
The decisions tab is the killer feature. Every architectural call I made is right there, in my own words, instead of buried in a PR description.
Finally a portfolio that doesn’t pretend my side projects are products. Pinned the wiring, pinned the trade-offs, done.
Onboarding a new hire used to take a week of architecture diagrams. We just send the clearframe now.
I love that the AI can summarize a repo, but it never overwrites the parts I write. Decisions stay mine.
GitHub shows you what shipped. clearframe shows you why and how. Different problem, finally solved.
Map the system you built.
