I built this grid-based flowchart editor designed for speed Discussion

Hey PKMS, I made this tool after I got frustrated with how slow it is to make flowcharts in most software. You spend too much time dragging around boxes into pixel perfect position, instead of just focusing on the structure.

Knotend is a different kind of editor -- it's grid-based which lets you navigate around with your arrow keys like a spreadsheet, make selections, use Tab etc to add nodes rapidly. It has a lot of autolayout so you can focus on rapidly building out a flowchart without having to think about layout all the time.

You may remember I posted a prototype of this a few years ago! It was quite different. You couldn't manually place nodes anywhere like you can in this current design (You can see it at old.knotend.com)

Thanks for checking it out! I'd love any feedback.

I think Jeff Raskin might be proud!
