mainradar is live

A couple of weeks ago I wrote to say the rebuilt mainradar was coming. It's live now, so this is me telling you to go poke around.

The radar tracks three of Unreal's frontier branches, including the UE6 code Epic pushed public about a year and a half early. 2,315 engine modules, and you can see which ones are actually moving right now versus sitting still.

mainradar Delta: UE6 is 11,521 commits into a generation that runs around 300,000, and climbing.

Two ways in:

Discover is every module, ranked by how much it's changing, so you can spot what's being rebuilt before you build on top of it.

mainradar Discover: 1,047 active modules ranked by files changed over the last 30 days.

Spotlight is the eight modules that moved most on the frontier last week, each with a plain read of what changed.

mainradar Spotlight: the week's biggest movers, led by EditorInteractiveToolsFramework at 47x its normal week.

It refreshes every Monday. It's early and rough in places, which is exactly why I want you in it. Click around, then leave a comment or send over a reply and tell me what you'd point the radar at. I read every one, and it shapes what I dig into next. I plan on adding voting as a feature too so I can show spotlighted modules according to your interests!
