About what it does
what it does is a specialized developer tool designed to give you a comprehensive understanding of your application's capabilities, rather than just tracking line-by-line code changes. Traditional tools show you what changed in your codebase, but what it does maps out every entry point, identifies what data each entry point touches, and verifies whether authentication or authorization checks are in place to see who is asking.
Built with privacy and security in mind, the tool reads your code statically without running anything. It requires no account creation, performs zero uploads, and collects no telemetry. With a single command, it generates a standalone, offline-ready HTML file detailing your application's behavior. When scanned again, it reports shifts in application behavior rather than simply noting which lines of code moved. Distributed under the MIT license, the core tool is completely free, while a paid GitHub Action is available to automate these checks on every pull request (and is free for public repositories).
Pros of what it does
- Maps application capabilities, entry points, and data touchpoints rather than just code diffs
- Performs static analysis without needing to run the application
- High privacy: requires no account, makes no uploads, and includes no telemetry
- Generates a single, offline-capable HTML report with a single command
- Open-source and free under the MIT license
Cons of what it does
- Automated checks on pull requests via GitHub Action require a paid tier for private repositories
- Focused strictly on behavior and entry points rather than traditional line-by-line code review
Frequently Asked Questions
How does 'what it does' analyze code?
It reads your codebase statically without actually running the application, identifying every entry point, what data it touches, and whether authentication checks exist.
Is the tool free to use?
Yes, the core tool is open-source and free under the MIT license. Additionally, the GitHub Action is free to use on public repositories.
Do I need an account or internet connection to view reports?
No. The tool runs locally via a single command that writes a single HTML file capable of working completely offline, with no account or data uploads required.
About GTA DataCity
GTA DataCity is a unique open-source application that turns geographic data into an interactive game experience. Described as a tiny 3D platformer atlas, the tool visualizes a curated dataset of San Francisco's AI coworking spaces.
Developed by Jas (Cassini Research), GTA DataCity provides a playful, gamified approach to mapping and exploring tech hubs. Hosted on Vercel and backed by an open-source GitHub repository, it offers a novel way to navigate datasets using 3D platformer mechanics instead of traditional static maps.
Pros of GTA DataCity
- Gamifies data visualization using a 3D platformer concept
- Open-source project with code accessible on GitHub
- Easily accessible directly in the browser via Vercel
- Creative mapping approach for San Francisco's AI coworking ecosystem
Cons of GTA DataCity
- Highly niche dataset limited to San Francisco AI coworking spaces
- Simple platformer scope rather than a complex gaming experience
