Cool research! I went to the repo to see what the DSL looked like but it was hard to find a clear example. It would be cool if you added a snippet to the README.

Hi all, I built this as part of my fellowship research — it’s a tiny tool called Prune

The idea is simple: you start with a single sentence (a claim, assumption, or half-formed thought). Prune asks a gentle question, then offers branching rewrites. You prune, merge, or refine, and bit by bit your sentence gets sharper.

It’s closer to a journaling tool than a productivity app — but I’ve found it surprisingly good for surfacing hidden assumptions and clarifying ideas I thought were obvious.

Would love feedback on: - When it feels useful vs. when it falls flat - Features that would make it more than a toy - Whether you’d see yourself using this for work/thinking

Live demo here: https://www.prune.quest

Good question! It's fairly easy to implement and also it "tends to elect broadly-acceptable options or candidates (rather than consistently following the preferences of a majority)" (wikipedia) But I'd like to add other ranking methods in the future

No, you can’t upload an image- it’s just via prompt. SnapDiagram looks really useful!

I can't fathom how much that domain must have cost

Interesting! In the future I may try to build a framework-agnostic version. HTML-only would be pretty cool. Thanks for trying it out.

I'm starved for some feedback over here. Would you use this?

I had the worst experience with Wise and their support this past week. So bad it almost sent me to Twitter to rant. It used to be an amazing service but something has changed and I’m swearing off it too.

I’m the creator of flowchart.fun which is a quick text-to-diagram tool. If I’m being honest I didn’t use it much when developing stuff at first but of late I find it’s really nice if I have a mental dependency graph that I just want to visualize to help prioritize tasks and think about blockers. Mermaid.live is awesome for this. Anything you can drop into quickly imo

Thank you! Much needed feedback. Going to fix that today.

I want to make architecture diagrams more natural in the future. This is far from perfect but here's my quick attempt at producing something like this in Flowchart Fun - https://flowchart.fun/n#EoUwhgxgLgBA3gKBjYB7ArlEAnJMDCqAtgA6...

Thank you so much! I'm reworking app flows this week and I was hesitating about removing this demo. I'm taking this comment as a sign that it's got to stay.

Supabase is also great for auth. Did you reimplement auth yourself or switch to another auth service or framework?

On https://flowchart.fun I found that I got better overall results by asking GPT for an intermediate syntax that it was less likely to mess up (and easier for me to parse), and then parsing and transforming that syntax to my DSL. The relevant code: https://github.com/tone-row/flowchart-fun/blob/main/api/prom...

Links in flowcharts is a really useful feature that people have been asking for for a while. Try it out and let me know what you think!

There's a lot going on in the text-to-diagram world. This is a plug for my small, unfunded solution in the space. I still think the animation and interactivity give it something special. Let me know what you think!

Building solo is tough. I always want to charge for *new, shiny features rather than add paywalls but sometimes you have to work with what you've got.

For simpler, more intuitive syntax give flowchart.fun a try

When you click Create from Prompt – that's using GPT3

There's a link to the relevant part of Tailwind's documentation as well as when you copy and paste it there's a helper comment for how to apply dark/light mode.

Click "Create from Prompt" on the top right

I built this Tailwind Custom Color Palette Generator that allows to create palettes from an app description. Gives you light-dark mode, neutrals, and shades. Check it out! S'free!

Spent the past several months designing a language for storing graphs and recently migrated my app flowchart.fun over to using it. Curious to get some feedback, both on the language and on the app.

Thanks!

I'm working on a DSL that allows for storing graph data (nodes, edges and attributes on them). Parser written in javascript. Let me know what you think!

I totally agree the distinction exists, just wanted to say https://flowchart.fun/ is nice because you can run layout algorithms and then tweak to your liking w/in the same editor

Love the app!

(maker of flowchart.fun here) This is technically true but it's a little more nuanced. The 2048 character limit comes from Internet Explorer. There's a great answer on SO https://stackoverflow.com/a/417184/903980

Still on FF I opted to use LZ Compression (pretty sure many other sites do this as well) to get the number of characters down

I’ve put a lot of effort into a redesign of flow chart fun. I’m hoping a few more people will try it out and let me know what they think!

I haven't posted about this app in a while, so I wanted to take this opportunity to share the progress we've made. We've given it a pretty major facelift in the past couple of months, and it's still under active development, so I'm excited to see what's to come!

One option - https://flowchart.fun/n#NoOg5gTgplB2C6ACWB7ALgWgM5oIYTSgBMAo...
