Show HN: Knotend – a keyboard-first flowchart editor

1 pointsby escotover 2 years ago
Hey HN, I made knotend [0] because I wanted a flowchart editor that was keyboard-first and super fast. I was tired of dragging boxes around on a canvas. You may have seen knotend around here before when I wrote an initial blog post [1] about why I wanted a new kind of flowchart editor. Thank you to everyone who has given me feedback here on HN!<p>Since that blog post I’ve been working hard to get to a v1 which I’m showing now. You can use the free version without having to sign up for an account. I would love your feedback!<p>What makes knotend different is two main things: 1) The nodes are constrained to a grid which enables a keyboard-centric experience for selection and navigation, and 2) there’s autolayout so each time you add a node, the graph automatically lays itself out and places each node in a cell.<p>In the future I’ll be working on supporting more complex editing actions, linking graphs together, collaboration, and more.<p>Please drop your feedback below, reach out on twitter [2], or email scott@knotend.com.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.knotend.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.knotend.com</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scottantipa.com&#x2F;why-knotend" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.scottantipa.com&#x2F;why-knotend</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;ScottyAntipa" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;ScottyAntipa</a>
