I watch Claude edit my MD files. Helps my messy brain

Hi guys,

I built a local folder tree UI to make Jake's architecture actually click in my head.

Started simple, just wanted to see the folder structure instead of guess at it. Then one thing led to another.

Now I've got slot cards at the bottom where I can pull up all 3 markdown files side by side (CLAUDE.md, context.md, PRD.md) and just click between them to compare. So clean.

But the part I didn't expect to love , was the follow along. When Claude edits a file, my UI highlights exactly what changed. Code files, MD files, I can watch it happen. Left panel lights up, canvas cards highlight. No more "wait what did it just touch."

For my brain this is huge. Jake's method finally has a visual layer I can actually follow.

Still building it out. But thought I would share.
