I liked the idea of graphify, but for large repos the search queries were visibly very slow.I dug into it and saw an opportunity to make it better.It is rewritten in rust and uses sqlite instead of NetworkX.There is a command to migrate from graphify or set up from scratch.Let me know what you think!
