Show HN: Building the Cursor UI selector but for back end

Hey all, Me and my friends building CodeBoarding, an easy way to visualize and understand your codebase. Cursor 2.0 showed how now you can drag context for your agent directly from the UI, I think this is awesome way to interact with generated code, as you don' really need to understand all details for a vibe coding session.

This is why we've been building CodeBoarding - visualizing your codebase with a diagram so you can quickly understand and navigate the codebase. Now you can just copy a component and paste it as context for your agent so it knows where to work. The analysis agent for the diagram creation is open-source you can find it here: https://github.com/CodeBoarding/CodeBoarding

I would love to hear your opinion on vibe coding for larger projects, how do you navigate the context selection? Further what kind of guardlines are you using, we are thinking of adding guardrail which makes most of the files readonly so your agent (cursor, claude code, etc.) cannot delete/edit them.

Looking forward to chatting with you all, Ivan
