Flowchart Fun

Flowchart Fun is a webapp for quickly generating flowcharts from text. With a fast and intuitive workflow, you can visualize your ideas and plans in minutes.

📝 Example

For an example of how Flowchart Fun works, take the following input:

Node A
  goes to: Node B
  and: Node C
    goes back to: (Node A)

You can generate this flowchart with just a few clicks:

🛠️ Development

Flowchart Fun is built with React and cytoscape.js.

💡 Prerequisites

If you plan on developing the premium features, you will need accounts on Vercel, Supabase, Stripe and Sendgrid.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Clone the repository
2. Copy .env.example to .env and add env variables
3. pnpm install and vercel dev

Note: shared and formulaic must be built before the app will run — run pnpm -F shared build && pnpm -F formulaic build after installing.

🔒 To run with login features:

vercel dev

Note: You will need to create a Vercel account and install the CLI to run the app locally. To deploy the app, you will need a Pro Vercel account because it uses more than 12 serverless functions.

⚙️ To run without login features:

pnpm dev
