Code Visualization, Redefined

What is Code Visualization?

Today the phrase "code visualization" means making a picture that represents some facet of code, but at Undaunted we're taking the concept to the next level: a new way to see, understand, and interact with code.

Something that takes the abstract practice of reading code and turns it into something intuitive, even visceral. An experience that enables people to feel the shape of logic and how it operates.

We know this sounds different, but something different is needed.

Maybe you’re one of us, someone who has drawn your own diagrams time after time, and knows there must be a better way. That working with and understanding code should be easier.

And we're not just talking about a new coat of paint for the usual suspects: old-school UML diagrams, PDGs that only a machine could love, or call graphs so dense and large that they could birth galaxies.

We're talking about building tools that unlock the brilliance of our users through intelligent design and interactions.

The Next Generation of Visualizations

We're pushing the boundaries of what is possible and expected for the visualization of code and software systems, shifting from diagrams to tools that are built to take advantage of what our brains are good at.

From bar graphs to Google Maps, effective visuals tap into the massive bandwidth of our visual processing to help us understand in a split second something that might otherwise take minutes to absorb.

This acceleration is the true pursuit of Undaunted: taking things that have been difficult and tedious and making them fast and easy. We're looking to challenge the limits of what is humanly possible when it comes to understanding code, and getting there requires a new generation of visual tooling.

There is a pressing need for tools that help people grapple with the inherent complexity of code. By focusing on bringing the best out in humans and not just automation, we believe such tools can improve how the people everywhere relate to software.

A Journey of a Thousand Steps

We're embarking on a quest to change the game, but it won't be one big step that changes the world, instead it's a new way of addressing a perennial problem of software.

The world largely still reads, understands, and interacts with code the same way it did decades ago. We're making things easier and faster for people at all levels of experience.

Because in a world dominated by software, our priority is improving the human understanding of code.

We're looking for forward-thinking individuals and organizations who want tools that unleash their ability to see and understand; who are ready for both the challenges and the magic that come with being an early adopter.

If that’s you, we invite you to reach out and join us for the journey.
