A little less that three months ago I was getting increasingly annoyed that every "memory" tool for coding agents was basically a vector store with extra steps. You'd point an agent at a big codebase and it would grep around like a lost intern, burning tokens re-reading the same files, with no real sense of how anything connected to anything else. The tools gave agents storage, not understanding.

So I started building my own thing. Codebase memory for agents, but as an actual graph of the code, and everything local first because I did not want to ship my employer's repos (or mine) to someone else's cloud. I figured maybe a handful of people had the same itch.

This week, ten weeks in, it crossed more than a thousand of users. The index is sitting at over 50 million nodes across everyone's repos, and agents have made more than 4 million tool calls against it. I keep refreshing the dashboard like it's going to correct itself.

The weird part is how little of this would have been possible for one person even three years ago. I'm solo. No team, no funding, nights and weekends. But the agents I was building for were also building the thing with me, which still feels like cheating. There's something strange and great about using coding agents to build better memory for coding agents, and then watching that memory make the next version easier to build.

Not going to pretend the three months were smooth. I rewrote the indexer twice, the first parser choked on any repo over a certain size, and for the first few weeks I was pretty sure nobody would ever care. If you're sitting on a tool you built because existing stuff annoyed you, that annoyance is probably shared by more people than you think. This is the best time there has ever been to be one person with a specific itch and a laptop.

Anyway... Wild stuff, just felt like sharing

My side project crossed thousands of users this week and I still can't quite believe people actually use the thing
