Ꝛdepend

Mind that this Gem is very experimental, a work in progress

It generates a graph visualization of the dependencies in your codebase.

A lot of incoming links are good, as that means that a function/module is re-used a lot. A lot of outgoing links a bad, as that means that that part of the code has a lot of dependencies.
