alt Hacker NewsHi, this is my project! I was surprised to see it posted here. It's a debugging tool for container images that I host for myself and some friends/coworkers.
Some of its features are intentionally not very discoverable, partially to keep the interface minimal, but mostly because I like to hide them as easter eggs.
I wrote a little more context for how this (and some related tools) came to be at https://dag.dev for the curious.
Happy to answer any questions, of course, but I imagine this is a pretty niche tool.

Sounds interesting, but it didn't survive the Hacker News amount of visitors.

Wow, this is super cool! I tried this on some of my own images, and it even supports some less-common features like zstd compression and cosign signatures. It even links to the documentation for all the signature fields and to the sigstore transparency log for each signature, and it shows you the size of every individual file inside each layer too. And it's also pretty cool that the top of every page shows the shell command used to generate it.
