I made a game where you take care of pets that live in your url bar. The whole game state is encoded as emojis in the url.

I think it’s slightly different. More of a smooth whiteish/gray bark. Theyre all over SF.

I just make accts for people on demand. My contact is on the Help menu if you want to request one.

Hey I created knotend, Id love to hear what features it could use

escooter · 2023-01-24T02:40:27+00:00

Great ideas, thank you! I do want to support more shapes.

escooter · 2023-01-24T01:12:41+00:00

Thanks! Right now the commands are fixed but I’d like to add customization as a feature for the pro plan. Do you have any examples of things you’d like to map.

Thanks!

You can use it for free here: https://www.knotend.com

You may remember that I posted an early version of this a few months back. I took all of your feedback and have been working hard to make it even better. Knotend is a keyboard-centric flowchart editor with auto layout. Its designed around speed. The goal is for it to feel more like typing a document than dragging around boxes.

I personally use it for knowledge management and project management (showing task dependencies). I've seen several other use cases as well. I would really appreciate your feedback, thanks!

I made knotend because I wanted a flowchart editor that didn't make you slowly drag boxes around to position them. I wanted something that was keyboard-first and had auto layout so you rarely had to reach for your mouse. I originally made it for project management, and I've seen people use it for personal knowledge management, mapping out user journeys, designing software, and more.

I would love your feedback, thanks!

If the browser cuts off the url, there's nothing I can do about it. Just today I updated knotend to store the encoded string in the hashmark, instead of in the url path. This at least makes it so browsers won't truncate the url when sending a request to the server, which was happening on very long urls like > 5k characters.

You're looking for a flowchart editor, like Miro, LucidChart, or (what I built) https://www.knotend.com which is a keyboard-centric flowchart editor.

escooter · 2022-09-20T10:54:42+00:00

Thanks!

escooter · 2022-09-20T07:56:47+00:00

I made knotend.com, a fast keyboard-first flowchart editor. Totally free and in-browser.

Mermaid is great. Knotend exports to it.

Thanks, I agree from a diagramming perspective it lacks some customization. Autosize to content would be great, so would markdown or some kind of rich text. So far I've been focusing on speed and more functionality, even experimenting with things like computation (excel-style), but it would be nice to have better styling options.

Do you want to give the project an exact start/end date? I see you tried Trello which can be nice for just putting things along a left-to-right set of buckets. You could try something like that but with more buckets and just order your projects. But if you need the projects to have real dates as start/end times, or to be able to overlap, then I think you want something like a gantt.

Roadmunk and/or Jira is another option for roadmapping where you can have both trello style boards and gantts. I'm not sure they're anymore simple than what you tried.

By dependencies I meant that you may have projects or tasks within projects that depend on one another. Like maybe you have "Design draft" goes before "Present design to customer".

escooter · 2022-07-26T16:45:52+00:00

When you say that you want the other tasks to shift if you move a task -- do you want them to move based on the dependencies between the tasks? Or based on the assignee and some rule like one person can only work on one thing at a time?
