KnotenWerk is a no-distraction decision tree and graph tool with Edit/View modes, local-first JSON files, and export to JSON, SVG, and Markdown.
Build interactive decision trees and graphs in Edit Mode, then click through outcomes in View/Demo Mode before shipping your solution. KnotenWerk keeps the interface intentionally calm: no clutter, just nodes, labels, and paths. It is local-first by default, so graphs are stored as JSON files you own and can move anywhere. Create nodes, connect labeled choices, and rearrange branches without losing structure. Click choices as a user would and highlight the active path while presenting or testing. Export graphs to JSON, SVG, and Markdown to plug directly into docs and workflows. Each graph is saved as JSON on your machine, so your files stay portable and under your control.

Hey all, I made knotend [0] because I wanted a flowchart editor that was keyboard-driven and super fast. I was tired of dragging boxes around on a canvas. You may have seen knotend around here before when I wrote an initial blog post [1] about why I wanted a new kind of flowchart editor. Thank you to everyone who has given me feedback here on HN! Since that blog post I’ve been working hard to get to a v1 which I’m showing now. You can use the free version without having to sign up for an account. I would love your feedback! What makes knotend different is two main things: 1) The nodes are…
- DMDirect manipulation flowchart editor without the mouse2021 · knotend.com · ▲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.

Diagram as code tool with draggable customizationsOct 2025 · github.com · ▲266In the past I've used declarative diagram generation tools like Mermaid.js a lot for quickly drawing up things but for presentations or deliverables I find that I have to then move the generated diagrams over to a tool like Lucidchart which allows full control of the organization and customization. Therefore I am now working on this to combine the benefits of both into just one tool which can do both functions. The project is certainly in the early stages but if you find yourself making architecture diagrams I'd love to hear your thoughts on the idea or even a Github issue for a feature…
Graphic-Walker – A different type of open-source alternative to Tableau2023 · github.com · ▲148Hello, guys~ I recently developed a data exploration and visualization app which can be used as a different type of open-source alternative to Tableau. It is extremely easy to embed in your apps just as a react component. The original purpose is to develop a lite plugin that can be easily embedded in most cases, it doesn't have to be a large BI, but a lite graphic plugin. GitHub: Kanaries/graphic-walker, https://github.com/Kanaries/graphic-walker The main features implemented: * A user-friendly drag-and-drop-based interaction for exploratory data analysis with…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
