HN comment orderOh Hi, I'm the solo creator of Kinopio. Before this, I was the designer and co-creator of Glitch. I'll go through and answer things, feel free to AMA. If you're curious about me or about the process of designing/creating, these blog posts might be helpful: - https://pketh.org/how-kinopio-is-made.html - https://pketh.org/designing-for-thinking.html - https://pketh.org/the-first-four-years-of-glitch.html
Hey HN, Kinopio is a visual thinking tool that can be used for things like brainstorming, organizing thoughts, mood-boards, planning, basically for figuring stuff out (by yourself or collaboratively). I've been building it for the last year after leaving my job as the co-creator of Glitch (http://pketh.org/hello-kinopio). There's no sign up required to use it, let me know what you think, thx! – Pirijan
Nice. By the way, I've heard from a friend who tried to re-implement Simulink (only the diagram designer part) that proper line placing is NP-hard.
