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 changes
Technical limitations:
- Performance degrades beyond ~100 files
- Diagram quality varies by codebase structure
- UI is minimal
