Splotch – Turn written workflows into live diagrams
IDEA Imagine how infuriating it would be if you had to write code in a text editor: no tools to diff changes; no organized way to merge changes from a new branch; no way to even see what's running on master. This is how we design, deploy and run most processes in every tech company: we describe them in text docs. Human memory and sense-making is visual and sequential.
