Hey all, author here. Graphs are used for tons of purposes across a lot of disciplines, but we don't have a fast general-purpose graph editor. That's what I'm trying to do with knotend [0]. It's a keyboard-driven directed graph editor. I made it for myself for planning project dependencies. It's also a great tree editor.
I actually posted a very early version as a Show HN [1] which you can see was mostly met with question marks, and rightfully so. It was literally a grid, with the gridlines rendered, and had very cryptic keyboard shortcuts. I've spent the last year just working on the UX, to make an intuitive and fast editing experience.
I'd love more feedback especially about any UX issues. It's free to use the purely client side version, and you can join the waitlist [2] if you want a user account to persist graphs to the backend (I'm slowly onboarding people).
