🏛️ The Museum of Code

Welcome to the Museum of Code. Software is often judged by its UI or its documentation, but here, we look at the raw physical reality of the code itself.

Using the GitGalaxy blAST engine, we have stripped away the abstractions of history's most important and culturally significant open-source repositories to visualize their structural physics, technical debt, and architectural choke points.
