   I’ve always wanted something like this but integrated into the terminal or vim. Like you could have a hotkey that sends a json object from your debug session over to this scratch pad to save for later.

    I highly recommend reading this. VisiCalc is the original spreadsheet and Bricklin details the whole story of its invention. So many gems about how he got around constraints, and added others to make the user experience simple. And spreadsh

    Thank you for the feedback. I think theyre all great. One thing Im trying to figure out is to support adding text to connections, but do so in a keyboard centric way. I dont want people making graphs that require you to use the mouse a lot.

    I've found it to be the most accurate description. I think the core of what makes a flowchart is that its a directed graph, which knotend is.

    Thanks! Thats the same reason I set out to make this. You can export currently to plant uml. Is there anything else you would want in particular for doing system diagraming?
