Direct manipulation flowchart editor without the mouse▲54
Hey HN, I made this because I wanted a fast editing experience when making flowcharts. Other tools (bottom)require clicking and dragging (or editing code). Knotend is keyboard centric and is supposed to feel more like editing a doc than dragging around boxes and arrows. I've tested in on safari and chrome desktop. Its difficult to use on mobile but you can view existing charts. I'd appreciate your feedback on how you use it, the design, any bugs etc. Thank you.

Siren – featured Mermaid DSL targeting 4 Languages with Fable▲5
Hello everybody! I just finished a hobby project. It is a F# library for creating Mermaid graph YAML. I used Fable to transpile to JS (+types) and python, and added a convenience C# access layer. This means you have a nice API for creating Mermaid graphs in 4 languages. My documentation also includes code examples for all languages and a blogpost on library design. Would appreciate feedback!

Flowee – Generate Beautiful Diagrams from CDK/CloudFormation Templates▲9
Hi HN, We've built Flowee, which a CLI tool that generates architectural diagrams from AWS CDK/CF templates. We use it internally to send out the latest diagrams of each build to Slack, it's really interesting to see the applications evolve this way. We have more features planned for the future, would love to hear your comments/feedback. Thanks
