Alpha Release

Documentation is being actively expanded as V2 evolves.

What is V2?

V2 is a complete rebuild using WebGL instead of the DOM. This allows for visualization features that weren't possible before and better performance with large codebases.

It's a standalone app now, not a VS Code extension. With AI writing more of our code, being tied to a specific editor doesn't make sense anymore. V2 runs in the browser with a local server, with a native app in the works.

MCP server so AI agents can interact with the canvas — coming soon.
