+1 for not including a registration gate to try out the app.

@rrhoover i left another comment below explaining situation of the app. But you can add me as maker.

Bad signup can't try, so I don't want this product anymore.

Please let us know when you are ready for public launch @stefan_smiljkovic. Side projecters worldwide will rejoice.
Stefan Smiljkovic
@scottrepreneur thanks for support Scott buddy. I will def, the code is already open sourced and its big mess now. But will try to build community around it and make it wireflow actually useful. Peace,

nice pics for the diagrams, poor usability though. compare to lucid chart at least

@matveyich 'Poor usability' isn't description enough for them to make it better ;)

Not a replacement for Visio like tools for creating diagrams, but if you want to describe a basic app flow, you can build it out using this tool. Does the basic part pretty well but needs a lot more work before it can be used in any professional setting

Pros:

Simple enough to use

Pre-built components with click through

Cons:

Export as JPG only (need PNG)

Too much scrolling

Connectors are wonky

attractive design..

Oh no, someone hunted old, buggy and unfinished side project of ours. That is really sad, really really sad :/ . First of all I apologize for bad user experience and wasting your time with Wireflow. If we putted like 10% more into that app, it would be awesome, free and very useful app to build wire flows. @andrewabogado thanks for hunting bro, but we were not ready for that -.- @rrhoover you can add me as a maker of this buggy app @yaponyal indeed, i am aware of that bug, but it didn't mean to go public like this at all. ============================== It started as an idea to avoid Photoshop, Illustrator and other tools for making simple wires/user flows. I was thinking if we use power of Meteor.js for web app and real-time collaboration, add Fabric.js for canvas manipulation, create simple and beautiful graphics that it could be useful app. That's happen, but i decided to add few more features which were not tested. In one moment, we just left that app there for last 1+ year and moved to another projects. It was done by https://vanila.io crew. I am thinking of making Wireflow Open Source so people can actually make it useful. I created repo, but its empty until we move code there https://github.com/vanila-io/wir... . If anyone interesting to contribute, join on our internal chat on https://chat.vanila.io . I hope we can create another chance, were Wireflow will be upgraded, fixed of bugs, and launched as V2. I know people would like it, and this hunt prove it, even its so buggy and slow.

@stefan_smiljkovic Whenever you're ready, I'll make sure to give it a try. Good luck with the project!
Stefan Smiljkovic
@harimahesh Thanks for understanding mate. I will give try one more for that product, and hopefully people will have use of it.
Daniel Sodkiewicz
@stefan_smiljkovic I️ hear you. I️ often worry somebody will find my projects which we still work on and post it here before we are ready. Maybe you should be able to post your own projects only on PH or maybe you could submit to PH your project to be added to ‘do not publish until ready list’, @rrhoover ?
Stefan Smiljkovic
@rrhoover @dansodkiewicz exactly bro. This happened second time to me, first time was with another project and I saw it on time and contacted admins to remove it. @rrhoover like Daniel said, what you think about feature for reserving your own product for lunch when its ready, so someone else can't catch you off the guard and hunt you.
Daniel Sodkiewicz
@stefan_smiljkovic @rrhoover to keep it simple from the tech side, maybe some meta tag on the homepage , something like noindex which would prevent from posting or let a maker create a draft of a project on an account and keep it there hidden from a public, and no duplicate submissions are allowed

Very helpful and very much something I'm looking for on a regular base! Maybe add an icon library...or even a similar app for creating icons (or even images like product covers, for blog posts etc.) from simple shapes with a limited colour palette and perhaps a few textures, similar to an avatar builder.

Pros:

Easy and intuitive to use; many potential applications - I'll love it when it's finished! Very well designed graphics - simple and concise.

Cons:

Make templates searchable by topic, keyword or categories (scrolling takes too long); option to adjust colour in templates

Maria Hoffmeister
PS: Regarding "many potential applications" I was not just thinking of using it for wireflows but for workflows and flowcharts for illustrating processes and instructions - also for infographics. - Hope that explains why I go on about adjusting colours and adding an icon library and icon builder :D
Stefan Smiljkovic
@courseshapercom Thanks for such a great review and feedback. Definitely mate, I am aware of the cons, and most of things you mention we had in mind. This was just a test concept if we can make that simple tool which allow real-time collaboration and avoid using Photoshop. Lets see what will gonna come out of this unexpected hunt.

This looks like something Andrew Yang uses on his feed to promote his platform! #yanggang

Looking forward to use Wireflow once it's properly released! Hate using Sketch for wireflowing!

Pros:

Open Source, great alternative to manually create wireflows

Cons:

No cons - just unfinished.

Stefan Smiljkovic
Thanks for honest review @ziyafenn . We gonna make Wireflow production ready soon or later ^^
