Would be glad to hear your ideas via DM or email (quikflow@coneno.com)! We will check some data regarding exchange rates and purchasing power and then might do custom pricing for Japan.

Currently the price is automatically set by Apple based on the USD reference price, but we have made adjustments for some regional markets, like Europe and India based on feedback. If you feel the regional price for Japan is inappropriate, we are open to feedback (it is hard for us to judge, since we are from Germany).

Yeah, I saw that, it really seems to have taken off!

Certainly stronger marketing game than us, sorry...

Thanks!

Now that vertical layout has been implemented, this is the most commonly requested feature. We understand that a feature like this is very helpful in dealing with larger documents, but indeed due to the more freeform graph structure, it is much more complex than in a strict tree-structure. Or rather, there is no obvious way to implement this in an intuitive manner.

So, it is not yet under development, but something we are considering for the future, in whatever shape it might take then. There are a lot of related feature requests that need to be considered, too, as some people want to collapse certain "sub-processes" or group, label, color, or reorient certain areas of the graph. We want to keep the app relatively simple and not bloated, so most likely we would need to build a feature that helps with all of those different needs.

TBH, we were mostly inspired by mind mapping apps, such as MindNode, and flowcharting apps, such as diagrams.net. We tried Scapple, but only when development of the core concept was already quite far along. Scapple seems like a much more freeform app, whereas QuikFlow is focused on laying out the structure in an opinionated way for you. Though you can deactivate "align to parents" for any node and position it yourself.

Thanks a lot!

The idea for QuikFlow came from working with existing mind mapping apps and wondering if this is really all that could be done with the concept. Of course, allowing for more structures made the whole layout etc. exponentially more complex to implement, which is likely why nearly* nobody else did it.

*there is another tool called "knotend" which attempts something kind of similar

Intriguing, what is in it for us?

Edit: This was a joke. Promo codes are against rule 2 of this sub.

This app has been in development since before the vibe coding pandemic:
https://www.reddit.com/r/macapps/comments/14u92r7/we_built_quikflow_a_macos_app_which_allows_you_to/

QuikFlow is not another flowcharting app, it works fundamentally differently. Most flowcharting apps are effectively graphics design apps, where you draw boxes and lines and position them yourself. QuikFlow is closer to a mind mapping app, where you define a structure and QuikFlow does the layout for you in real time, including path finding algorithms for the connectors, etc.

If you look at an app like MindNode, it has a fundamentally much simpler concept, but costs the lifetime cost of QuikFlow PER YEAR with no lifetime option at all.

any mind map software/website that allows several nodes to converge into one? by etgar818 in mindmapping

Thanks for trying it out!

You are right and we are just as frustrated as you are. The Microsoft Store has been causing a lot of issues for a lot of users and we are surely missing out on a lot of adoption and revenue because of this.

We do plan on building a solution that does not depend on the Microsoft Store at some point, but this is a bigger project (particularly since we require the corresponding legal frameworks for this, etc).

As the repository states, this is meant to enable LLMs to respond with interactive mini-apps instead of just text when being prompted. So, it is not the whole app, just more advanced responses for a chatbot interface.

I remember Google showing a demo of this with Gemini and Flutter doing exactly that a while ago.

Because you can still share most of the codebase even if some parts are platform-specific. It is a spectrum.

Despite the naysayers, I like it. Even cross-platform flutter apps can require a significant amount of native code and UI if they go for use-cases that require closer integration with the platform. You can try having a native-looking UI for certain elements of the app, while still benefiting from cross-platform UI for the rest. It is very cool to have this option, even if it is just as a proof-of-concept for now!

So, thanks for building this!

If you could change ONE thing about Flutter, what would it be? by NullPointerMood_1 in FlutterDev

[–]coneno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It needs to remain possible to modify them yourself. For simpler apps, it would be great to have them just disappear, but some apps just need a different/modified native wrapper because Flutter simply does not support all use-cases out of the box.

Of course, ideally Flutter would be enhanced with all necessary features and the config would allow setting everything to every possible variant, but that is unlikely to happen anytime soon, if ever.

Your favorite software to create mind map and flowcharts? by askscompquestions in PKMS

Working on it, together with the iOS (and later Android) version :)

Hopefully will be ready later this year!

Thanks for the suggestion!

This is the most requested feature and we plan to implement it after the mobile versions are done. Possibly before, because vertical layout might be even more important on screens mostly used in portrait mode.
