Did you really have to pick the same name as the Haystack open source AI framework? https://haystack.deepset.ai/ https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack

It's a very active project and it's confusing to have two projects with the same name. Besides, I don't understand why you'd give a "2D digital whiteboard that automatically draws connections between code as you navigate and edit files" the name haystack.

This is an unfortunate name collision, but in our defense the concept of a "needle in a haystack" is hardly unique and I believe a code editor is different enough from the AI framework that it's OK.

The idea is that a codebase is much like a haystack and finding the relevant portions of it for a task or specific flow would be equivalent to finding needles.
