Tidewave

What Changed

TideWave can now generate Mermaid diagrams. Ask it to visualize your code, and it produces the diagram.

That’s a Mermaid diagram showing what happens when you click “Add Task” in a Phoenix LiveView app. TideWave generated this by tracing through the actual code.

What I’m Using It For

Understanding Legacy Code: Asked TideWave to show how contexts interact in an inherited Elixir project. Got a clean diagram of data flow. Saved hours.

What is Tidewave?

Tidewave is an AI coding assisstant meant for full stack web development. It is built on top of Elixir and Phoenix by José Valim. What I found different about Tidewave is that it runs insdie of your browser. It is deeply integrated with your web frameworkand easily allows you to see what the coding agent is doing in real time.
