To have this simple comment revealed, alone, five years ago, as a glimmer of a future approaching.

Hi HN!

I made a small tool to help myself reason around dependencies. It parses simple text input and generates a tech tree-like visualization on the fly. The visualization can be interacted with to allow evaluation of relations, and assess potential courses of traversal.

Some backstory: I found my way to a large hospital construction project after a pair of health tech startups that didn't take off. The complexity of the project is huge, and I was missing a tool to help me grasp and assess the operationally dependency-heavy scenarios I was encountering. There are many tools to visualize dependency trees already, sure, but I needed something that was sufficiently accessible to where I could jot things down in meetings, and that could immediately communicate, rather than something requiring more careful modelling of relations.

I'm sharing it to give anyone else who might find this tool useful a chance to discover it. I don't have any plans for further development currently, but I welcome any feedback and thoughts on improvements.

Thanks!
