GitBlast
A code static analysis engine that runs 100% client-side with a zero-backend architecture. It includes in-browser AST parsing, dependency graph blast radius computation and visualization, and also provides proactive network defense functions.
Timeline (last 90 days)
GitBlast uses an AST lexical tokenizer in the browser to parse code structure into a low-level compressed sparse row (CSR) in-memory matrix.
GitBlast uses a combination of WASM and Web Worker, placing AST parsing on a separate thread to avoid blocking the main thread.
GitBlast's core framework is Next.js plus TypeScript, with graph rendering using the D3-Force physics engine and HTML5 Canvas, targeting smooth 60FPS visualization.
GitBlast's most core capability is topological blast radius computation, that is, performing breadth-first search along the reverse edges of the dependency graph (the transposed graph) to compute the scope of a change's downstream propagation.
GitBlast provides an interactive refactoring sandbox called Wire-Cutter, allowing users to virtually cut dependency edges in real time and observe changes in the blast radius.
GitBlast has seven built-in layers of security shields, including headless browser detection, a cryptographic proof-of-work (PoW) challenge, a sliding-window rate limiter, and a static malicious payload scanner.
The original text does not disclose GitBlast's complexity performance or caching strategy on large repositories, nor does it provide performance benchmark data for very large monorepos.
Whether GitBlast can deliver on its promise of stopping PRs from blowing up production on real large codebases depends on subsequent performance benchmarks and ecosystem integration, and it remains an open question.
