A new kind of grid-based flowchart editor. The design is to have a grid instead of a canvas, and all nodes are the same size and sit in a cell. On top of that, there’s keyboard navigation kind of like a spreadsheet.

The idea is to make editing flowcharts way faster by being keyboard centric and having autolayout.

I like it, but I feel like there might be something I'm missing
