Show HN: Coral – Visualize .proto file dependencies as an interactive graph

1 point

3 months ago

Hi HN, I built Coral to solve a pain point I had with large gRPC/Connect projects where proto dependencies became hard to track.

It parses FileDescriptorSet from `buf build` and generates:

- Interactive React Flow graph with a neon-style dark UI - PR comments showing proto schema diffs (added/removed/modified) - Static GitHub Pages for team documentation

Available as both a CLI tool and a GitHub Action:

    buf build -o - | coral serve
