Ever return to an old project and forget how it works? 😅

Just shipped Flowcharts in Mapfable.

Your connected AI can draw and update editable flows.

Recall old logic. Investigate bugs. Explain an idea.

Your flow. Your way.

Every builder knows that feeling — reopening a project you wrote and reading it like a stranger's code. Letting the AI draw the flow from the actual project, instead of stale docs, is the part that sells it.

The forgetting part is the real problem, so this lands well. Documentation always goes stale because someone has to redraw it. If the connected AI keeps the flow updated as the code changes, the map stays honest. That's the piece most tools miss.

Mapfable's example of a project map showing what is done, where you are and what needs your decision next is a tidy way to stop losing the thread between chats. For the new flowcharts, when the AI updates an existing flow after the code has changed, does it show you the diff before it overwrites your edits, or does it replace the whole chart? I would want to keep manual tweaks.

Returning to an old project and re-reading every file just to rebuild the mental model is painfully familiar — turning the codebase into a diagram you can see at a glance is a genuinely useful shortcut. The 'recall old logic, investigate bugs, explain an idea' trio is exactly where a visual map earns its keep.
