- flixic 6y agoI was wondering about the name too, but the first example (and the logo) made it clear. It's just full of arrows.
- svxml 6y agoIt is a standard name in representation theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiver_(mathematics) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiver_(mathematics)) which use a lot these kind of diagrams.
- CalChris 6y agoArrows. Lots of arrows.
- JorgeGT 6y agoI remember the first time I tried to plot a vector field in MATLAB. In Mathematica, the function it is of course VectorPlot[]. I spent quite a bit of time fumbling around until I found that some funny MathWorks developer had named the equivalent function quiver() because, of course, it holds lots of arrows!
- chris_st 6y agoUnfortunate name collision with the macOS/iOS note taking app Quiver [1] which doesn't do diagrams, but does do LaTeX. [1] https://happenapps.com https://happenapps.com
- marstall 6y agoquiver is great. Basically Mac's Notes but for programmers.
- yborg 6y agoActually it does diagrams, sequence and flowchart. Sadly, the app has gotten more or less no development for at least 4 years and the developer has stopped responding to bug reports for at least a year. It's abandonware at this point.
- c17r 6y agoI wish someone would make a cross-platform version of Quiver with a new cell type that replicates the Sublime PlainTasks plugin. It's on my list of side projects that I never seem to put a dent into.
- brailsafe 6y agoSad to hear. I still use it.
- chris_st 6y agoThanks for the correction! I used to use it too (I use Obsidian [1] now). Also sorry it hasn't been updated. I kind of felt that while powerful, it was also too complicated some times. [1] https://obsidian.md https://obsidian.md
- locusofself 6y agoI enjoyed using Quiver (the note taking app) for a while, but switched to Windows for most of my professional work (at Microsoft). Now I just keep a folder called "Quiver" in my vscode workspace with my code snippets.
