Yes, I think that having the code completely checked by AI is not a good idea, but an AI that says, "Check these," because they are noteworthy. This is my idea of a future where I hope AI is like the movie "Limitless." That is, it supports you in improving yourself and giving you greater capabilities, not in replacing you entirely.

Man, it's such a shame that you pivoted away from the canvas-based editor concept, it was such a pleasure to use, it's so much better than tabs.

It's still probably the best tool to navigate, visualize and understand complex codebases, which is particularly important now with AI coded repos. I keep looking for alternatives but they are all notably worse.
About a month ago I spent a few frustrating hours building it from source for my system and making it work, and I've enjoyed using it as my main IDE since.
I wish I had the time to make a fork and bring in a newer version of VSCode. If anyone takes it up I might help at least.

I like this idea. To be blunt, would this have more features than hooking up Claude/Gemini/Codex and saying "If - at any point - you're unsure, step back and let a human review"

Just to say great idea. But the name "Haystack" is used by several dozen things FWIW :)
