Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for external storage and organization of documentation for computer-executable source code. An executable program is provided that receives a selected codebase as input and generates or updates a code comment database corresponding thereto that provides a structured framework for documenting the codebase externally from the codebase. The executable program provides a user with the capability to add and/or edit comments for each structure in a codebase that is represented in a corresponding code comment database. A user can navigate through a code comment database using a user interface that includes a visual representation of a nested hierarchy of functions of the codebase. The visual representation can be manipulated by a user to provide an identification of arguments, variables, called functions, or the like for each function. Code documentation can also be displayed in association with the visual representation.
