                <description>The honest build story.

                <description>The origin story. Ron Northrip shows Zac a future package using a ReactFlow-powered tool for visualizing app data structures. Zac falls down the research rabbit hole, realizes Alpine has no equivalent to ReactFlow, and decides to build one with Claude.</description>
