Most teams have a decent understanding of their own codebase. The problem is that understanding lives in people's heads, not anywhere a new teammate or an AI agent can actually access. Documentation exists, but it's flat, scattered, and usually out of date. Nobody reads it, and nobody updates it unless something breaks. Ingestalt turns your existing Markdown files into a live spatial canvas. Point it at a folder and your documentation becomes nodes you can navigate, connect, and edit, with changes syncing back to your files automatically. The map stays alive because it's never separate from your repo. The node type system is flexible by design. Instead of the tool deciding what a database or an API looks like, you define it yourself inside the workspace. Your project's structure reflects how your team actually thinks about it. And because everything syncs back to disk, anyone coming into the codebase has somewhere real to start. You can generate new nodes, edit existing ones, and have every change reflected back in the file system automatically. Ingestalt was built in 48 hours by Team DLDMasters at the IBM Bob Hackathon, with IBM Bob as our development partner.
