The value proposition is very clear up front and I've personally struggled to find the right analytics solution. The best I've used is your competitor, posthog, which has been generally ok other than the hosting price being high a

Thanks. Ive updated the UI since I last posted in the thread you mention. You can know click on nodes to add new ones, and drag nodes to connect them. Did you try the most recent version? Hopefully its more intuitive, but youre right its pr

Thanks. Ive been trying to make it intuitive without leaning on tutorials because most people dont do them. The advantage over sheets is that knotend lays out the flowchart for you and is purpose built to be a flowchart editor.

My project is a fast flowchart editor with a UX optimized for keyboard shortcuts. Go to https://www.knotend.com and try making a flowchart or pick from one of the examples and try to edit it. In particular I'm looking for f

This seems like it could be better than Docker when you need to manage dependent images. Like if I want to build a simple base image for my backend that is then used to build images for both a prod deployment, a testing image, etc.

Luna was really inspiring to me. I'm really interested to see how this goes. I remember Luna previously having rendering perf issues using a canvas element. How is the perf with Enso? Small thing, I noticed this typo: > the ease wit

Do you mean you would like a good way to share a flowchart with other people? There are a few products that have persistence/collaboration builtin, like lucidcharts or miro. With knotend you can share the url with anyone to see your gr

Wow thanks for the videos. In the first video, you're right its confusing that the new node jumps to the top left. What's happening is that you create a new node that has no connections, then the layout algorithm re-runs and place

Thanks! I agree there should be a mouse-based way to add connections from cell to cell. Right now to make a connection from one node to another you first 'stage' one which highlights it orange (option-s, or use the button in the

Thanks for your detailed look at it. Im glad you got something working, but I agree its not great it was so confusing at first. Youre right that its a DAG, like how many flowchart tools represent the data. > grouping mechanism This would

Thanks for your feedback. I'll leave some responses first, then give feedback on Scaffoldly below. You're right, a lot of the issues you hit are because I haven't optimized it for mobile. I'll mostly respond to the other

I understand the feeling of being taken advantage of, but this seemed clearly like an over-reaction. A 100% apology was in order from my (sideline) opinion. He's just an ex intern having some fun, probably trying to impress his former

Thanks for all the feedback. So far I've made these adjustments based on all your thoughts: - Added bezier curves for the edges instead of straight lines - Style changes to make edges more clear - Removed extraneous options that probab

I did see flowchart.fun, it got a lot of love here on hn. Seems great for small graphs to quickly communicate something. But I couldnt express large flows in it. I actually started knotend using handson table, then switched to just writing

Are you referring to something like graphviz or mermaid? Ya, you dont technically need a mouse. But theyre also not direct manipulation — you edit text and then have a separate visual representation.

by escot 5y ago
Thanks. Theres a mode where you can hide the cell borders which kind of makes more of a gutter between them. But I agree theres something probably better especially for highly connected graphs. At the moment Im opening them in mermaid (ther
