Executive Summary

Teams building modern front-end apps—senior engineers, architecture leads and engineering managers working in monorepos or microfrontend environments—regularly lose visibility into how React/Next components, routes and data flows connect across packages, which increases debugging and refactor risk and slows cross-team changes. The problem is especially acute in codebases that span dozens of packages and thousands of files where ownership boundaries and runtime wiring drift faster than documentation can keep up. You could build an AST-powered code map that constructs precise component and route graphs, shows cross-package dependency surfaces, traces props/state and async data flow, and provides change-impact analysis tied to commits and PRs; expose that map via an interactive web UI plus IDE plugins and CI checks to enable shift-left reviews. Key features would include TypeScript-aware parsing, incremental updates for large monorepos, diffable architecture views over time, and integrations with GitHub, Vercel and common CI to make the maps actionable during code review. This market is attractive now because there are roughly 21 million frontend/JavaScript developers and an estimated annual tooling spend of about $400 per developer implying an $8.4 billion addressable market, and trends like JavaScript/TypeScript ubiquity, growing monorepos and a shift-left focus mean teams are prioritizing tools that reduce large-scale change risk. The opportunity looks strong on the scorecard (market score 90/100, revenue potential 84/100), but conversion will depend on clear ROI and low-friction onboarding for teams of all sizes. You can stand out by emphasizing AST-driven accuracy for React/Next-specific patterns rather than coarse dependency heuristics, delivering performant incremental parsing for repos with thousands of files, and by making the product prescriptive (impact and migration guidance) rather than purely visual. Honest challenges are keeping up with fast-changing framework APIs, balancing precision against false positives, competing with both open-source explorers and established static-analysis vendors, and proving measurable time-savings to justify per-developer or per-repo pricing.

Market Opportunity

Visualize React/Next architecture with AST-powered code maps targets a $8.4B = 21M frontend/JavaScript developers x $400 annual tooling spend total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 12% (developer tools & DevEx spend).

Key trends driving demand: JavaScript/TypeScript ubiquity -- growing share of front-end apps increases need for codebase-level tooling and visualizations.; Monorepos & microfrontends -- larger, shared codebases accelerate architectural drift and the need for cross-package visibility.; Shift-left dev productivity -- companies invest more in tools that reduce debugging/refactor time and enable safer large-scale changes..

Key competitors include CodeSee, Sourcegraph, SonarQube / SonarCloud, In-house scripts + AST Explorer / custom tooling.
