zubair-trabzada/brain-map ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a small local app that turns a folder of markdown notes into an interactive knowledge graph in the browser.

I want to point it at any notes folder, including an Obsidian vault or a plain .md directory, and have it generate a visual map from links between notes, especially [[wikilinks]] and normal relative markdown links. If notes aren’t linked, it should still show the folder structure nicely so the graph never feels empty.

Make it run with no extra dependencies if possible, just Python and a browser, and keep everything local on my machine. I want a simple way to start it, then open a page on localhost and explore the graph. Include search, zoom, pan, drag nodes around, click to highlight connections, and a replayable animation that shows the map growing from one node. Color nodes by folder and size them by how connected they are.

If you need to, look up current docs online for any browser or Python details.
