"SEEING SOMETHING AS A WHOLE RATHER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS — THAT'S WHAT INGESTALT IS ALL ABOUT. ONE NODE CONNECTING TO TWO OTHERS — IT'S THE PRODUCT'S CORE IDEA DRAWN TO THE SIMPLEST."
ABOUT INGESTALT
A LOCAL-FIRST SPATIAL DOCUMENTATION ENGINE FOR SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE.
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DOCUMENTATION EXISTS, BUT IT'S FLAT, SCATTERED, AND USUALLY OUT OF DATE.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 NEEDED. AND WHEN YOU BRING AN AI INTO YOUR WORKFLOW, IT'S WORKING FROM THE SAME DISCONNECTED FRAGMENTS EVERYONE ELSE IS IGNORING.
THAT'S WHY WITH THE HELP OF IBM BOB, WE BUILT INGESTALT.
INGESTALT IS A SPATIAL GRAPH DOCUMENTATION ENGINE THAT TRANSFORMS YOUR EXISTING MARKDOWN FILES INTO A NAVIGABLE INTERACTIVE SPATIAL CANVAS.
YOU POINT IT AT A YAML MARKDOWN, AND YOUR DOCUMENTATION BECOMES NODES ON AN INFINITE CANVAS, WITH RELATIONSHIPS YOU CAN DRAW BETWEEN THEM, SCHEMAS THAT DEFINE WHAT EACH NODE TYPE MEANS, AND AN EDITOR FOR KEEPING CONTENT CURRENT AND UPDATED.
AUTO_SYNC_PIPELINE
THE MAP ISN'T SEPARATE FROM YOUR REPO. EDITS SYNC BACK TO MARKDOWN FILES AUTOMATICALLY, PREVENTING OBSOLESCENCE.
FLEXIBLE_SCHEMAS
DEFINE WHAT EACH NODE TYPE MEANS. YOUR WORKSPACE REFLECTS HOW YOUR TEAM THINKS, NOT HOW THE TOOL DICTATES.
THE WAY INGESTALT HANDLES DIFFERENT TYPES OF INFORMATION IS FLEXIBLE BY DESIGN. INSTEAD OF THE TOOL DECIDING WHAT DATABASE LOOKS LIKE, YOU DEFINE IT YOURSELF!
INSIDE THE TOOL, EACH DEFINITION LIVES IN YOUR WORKSPACE ALONGSIDE EVERYTHING ELSE. THIS MEANS YOUR PROJECT'S STRUCTURE REFLECTS HOW YOUR TEAM ACTUALLY THINKS ABOUT IT, NOT THE TOOL THAT THINKS YOU SHOULD ORGANIZE THINGS. AND BECAUSE EVERYTHING SYNCS BACK TO YOUR FILES, ANYONE NEW COMING TO THE CODEBASE HAS SOMEWHERE REAL TO START!
"DO DEVELOPERS AND AI BOTH DO BETTER WORK WHEN THEY ACTUALLY SEE THE FULL PICTURE OF A SYSTEM?"
OUR TEAM, DLDMASTERS, BUILT INGESTALT IN 48 HOURS AT THE IBM BOB HACKATHON FROM MAY 15 TO 17, 2026, WITH IBM BOB AS OUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNER FOR THE PROJECT. WE BELIEVE SPATIAL IDEs ARE THE FUTURE OF COMPLEX SYSTEM DESIGN.
