Description
I built Noodles to help me keep up with the codebases my AI tools generate.Open sourced last week, hit 400 stars in 8 days.The problem: AI assistants scaffold entire features quickly, but leave you maintaining code you didn't write. When bugs appear, you're reverse-engineering your own project.Noodles generates interactive D2 diagrams showing execution flow:- Scans the repository and identifies entry points (CLI commands, routes, UI components)- Maps how execution flows from entry to outcome- Renders interactive overlays with clickable nodes and tooltips- Updates incrementally when code changesTechnical limitations:- Performance degrades beyond ~100 files- Diagram quality varies by codebase structure- UI is minimalGitHub: https://github.com/unslop-xyz/noodlesFeedback welcome!

Could you build this?
Yes Noodles is a code-visualization tool that parses repository files and renders interactive architecture diagrams in a web interface, easily generated using AST parsers and diagram libraries.
