Known Issues

The microservice architecture thingy is pretty fragile, so here are some improvements for future versions.

• refresh a graph window with same title instead of creating a new one? Or at least close existing ones
• the graph edges are hard to click
• remove assumption that function names are unique
• add support for python classes

Improvement ideas:

• create simplified view of high-level -> which microservices are involved and how they communicate, no functions, one node for each microservice
• merge create graph and refresh graph in one button, where is refreshes only if the file in which the function is located was modified/moved/deleted
