Ask HN: Flow chart application for Mac?
Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a simple, and free, application to build flow charts and diagrams.
I'm starting some documentation for a large project I've been working on and in need of something to build visual aides.
In the past, on Windows, I've used Dia - pretty cool, but very clunky as well.
Do any of you have a recommendation?

- digikata 11y agoFor simple diagrams, I've used Pencil (http://pencil.evolus.vn/ http://pencil.evolus.vn/). I don't know if I'd really want to build anything complex in it though. For intricate depictions, Inkscape is infinitely more flexible but is a little slow to use for quick diagrams.
