dissect

Why

So there I am, building yet another unnecessary demo idea (probably my 1000th). Claude Code open, Opus grinding away, and then — “Oh yeah, let me just tweak the migration and data models real quick.” I felt that in my soul.

Don’t get me wrong, the app still worked fine. But something about an AI casually rewriting core structures like that just doesn’t sit right with me. That’s dangerous territory, no?

So I decided I needed a way to actually see all my data models at a glance, without digging through every model and migration file by hand.

Right now it’s pretty simple: it pulls the data structures via Eloquent’s default CLI command as JSON, reads that alongside the DB tables, and renders it all with Vue Flow. That’s it, that’s the whole thing so far.

I’ve got more features planned, but the goal is simple — I just want a real overview of my app while stuff like this is happening under the hood.

So yeah, that’s dissect. Still very much a work in progress, and I use it every day.
