turnpoint

a little clarity goes a long way.

LESS SQUINTING. MORE “OH, I GET IT.”

Your code has a story.
Let’s draw it out.

A small, clear map of what changed,
what connects, and why it matters.
For the human on the other side of the code.

See the change.

The few blocks that matter, with the path around them. Flip between before and after without getting lost.

02 /

Follow the thread.

Functions, classes, and the data they share. A little more context is always one tap away.

03 /

Trust, then look.

Every block points to its source. Real line numbers. Unresolved calls stay unresolved. No imaginary arrows.

Give your code a little clarity.

Paste the parts you want to understand. Your code stays in this browser and is never executed.

Use complete files for reliable connections. An empty Before means a new file. An empty After means a deleted file.

Less code fog. More “aha”.

1. Bring one small change.

Paste the complete before and after files, or use a single version to understand existing code. Start with a feature, not a whole repository.

2. Read the picture.

Solid arrows show calls and other direct relationships. Dashed arrows show data types and callbacks. The map is a source relationship map, not a recording of execution order.

3. Pull on any thread.

Tap a block for a plain explanation, source lines, checks and unresolved calls. Use More detail for data shapes and callbacks. Save the story to reopen it later.

In a ChatGPT conversation

When the Turnpoint plugin is available, ask it to draw the change after a coding task. It adds an interactive explanation inside the conversation; the host's normal diff remains available.

Use Turnpoint to show this change as a simple flowchart. Explain the affected path and link every block to its source.
