We receive a lot of love, and I am incredibly grateful to be a part of people’s journeys. It gives my life meaning, and I genuinely enjoy doing it.

What strategies would you recommend for increasing our exposure?

@theo do tools like Graphify and RepoRavel help?

[Focus Hero @12yabuilds]

I built Ravel because I wanted to use Graphify - but I wanted a different deployment and security model.

Graphify is a powerful local-first project, but its CLI depends on Python 3.10+, uv/pipx, Tree-sitter packages, NetworkX, NumPy, and a fairly large dependency tree.

That isn’t inherently unsafe. I simply wanted something easier to ship, audit, and run on sensitive repositories:

one native Go binary.

Ravel turns a repository into a local, queryable knowledge graph so developers and coding agents can understand a codebase without repeatedly scanning every file.

┌──────────────────────────────┬─────────┐
│ Feature │ Ravel │
├──────────────────────────────┼─────────┤
│ Native compiled binary │ ✅ │
│ Python runtime required │ ❌ │
│ Dependency installation │ ❌ │
│ Local and offline analysis │ ✅ │
│ Polyglot Tree-sitter parsing │ ✅ │
│ Deep Go AST/type analysis │ ✅ │
│ Audit files before reading │ ✅ │
│ Secret/key exclusions │ ✅ │
│ Extracted/inferred evidence │ ✅ │
│ Uncertain links stay unknown │ ✅ │
│ Query, path, context, impact │ ✅ │
│ Local HTML graph dashboard │ ✅ │
│ Read-only MCP server │ ✅ │
│ Coding-agent integrations │ ✅ │
└──────────────────────────────┴─────────┘

With Ravel you can:
• find entry points and central packages
• trace calls, imports, definitions, and references
• inspect which files a change may affect
• generate a suggested reading order
• give an AI agent compact, token-bounded repository context
• preview exactly what will be scanned before building anything

The goal isn’t to beat Graphify by having more features.
Graphify aims to be a broad knowledge-graph product.

Ravel focuses on being a small, deterministic, audit-first systems tool with a limited dependency and attack surface - easy to distribute, embed, and run without asking users to configure a language environment.

Download the binary, run:
ravel audit .
ravel build .
ravel dashboard
Then query your repository instead of grepping through it from scratch.

I really hope my apps make you better. Phones/software have become an essential part of our lives, and if you can’t avoid them, at least make them work for you.

Stay Focused, Hero❤️🛡️

[Focus Hero @12yabuilds]

the best and easiest way to make valuable thing is to care about the thing you create. simple.

i know all the painful, slightly inconvenient, best and worst use cases just because i build it for myself first, i care.

Stay Hero🛡️

@athcanft such a cool dude man

@nestymee @Apple My loop for the past month:

Upload for review -> stale for a week -> write email, call -> reject -> repeat

[Focus Hero @12yabuilds]

Feedback/comments is 1 of my favorite parts of this game(even though I’m mostly building for myself😄).

If you have any issues, please let me know.

Love you guys so much🛡️

[Focus Hero @12yabuilds]

My update is in review for about 2 weeks now. What’s going on @Apple

[Focus Hero @12yabuilds]

Man how much I miss my elementary school basketball coach…

FocusHero got featured on Mergeek. Again! 🛡️
