I think we should also be finding ways to make things keyboard-driven that currently require a mouse. My side project is a keyboard centric flowchart editor which tries to merge the two between something typically 2D with pixel coordinates (normal flowchart software) and fitting it into a grid that has discrete coords so you can navigate with arrow keys.


A grid-based flowchart editor designed for speed. It’s optimized for the keyboard with a spreadsheet-like selection and movement mechanism.

I started working on it because I was tired of dragging boxes/arrows around in Miro while making dependency graphs for planning projects.

A while back I did a Show HN about it, and have since rewrote and changed the concept a bit to be easier to use.


I like to write because it helps me think through something that I’m curious about. And when I post it on HN I get a bunch of people who will help discuss and research it more which is super fun.


A keyboard-driven flowchart editor. This is a re-incarnation of a previous attempt. I’m still working on autolayout but I’m much happier with this version:

Thank you! Will take a look


In a good work environment you’ll have some telepathy with your product people and you wont have to communicate every minor change, which wastes time. Its similar to implementing a UI design — you and the designer will develop a relationship where you dont need to communicate every pixel, you fill in the blanks and show results, repeat.


If youre a job seeker and would be interested to join a slack, drop a comment here or email me: scott@scottantipa.com


I was thinking one server and just for job seekers. Like a support group for people looking for tech jobs.

Maybe there could be channels per role/level, like #backend-senior, #ml-junior. So you could discuss hiring process and get tips from people looking for similar roles.


Very cool. It would be great to have auto complete across cells.


Yes we don't yet have the full auto-suggest magic that Sheets offers, but you can click-drag for auto-complete the same way Excel offers.

We released Sourcetable today with the AI chatbot & AI data analysis features, but a very limited cell-based AI (only "summarize" and "fix formula"). We'll be releasing a big AI-based magic-autofill solution in the coming weeks.


Interesting, do you have a source?


There's a lot out there, it is considered one of the worst US marine disasters in modern times.

This seems to be a good overview: https://apnews.com/article/technology-business-storms-only-o...

Wikipedia is a good place to dig deeper, the article has over 60 references. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_El_Faro

The NTSB report is over 300 pages, I have not read it: https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/...

There have also been several HN discussions, this has the most votes (477): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16757343
