I built Rippledit – an AST impact analyzer for React/TS to see what breaks before you commit (Looking for honest feedback!)

Wait 5 sec.

Hey everyone! Working in medium and large React codebases, I always worried about unintended ripple effects across multiple pages whenever I modified shared components or hooks. To solve this, I built Rippledit – right above each React component/code block in VS Code, it directly displays "Modifying this affects X files". Clicking it opens an overlay showing the exact files and line numbers affected before you commit. I’d love some brutal, honest feedback from React/TS devs: - How do you currently track blast radius across large codebases? - Would seeing direct line-by-line impact right inside VS Code speed up your workflow? Drop a comment or DM if you'd like to test it out—tell me what sucks and what could be better!   submitted by   /u/SaxShiva [link]   [comments]
