I was wasting hours making flowcharts manually. So I built this instead

I used to hate one part of development, turning logic into flowcharts.
It was slow, repetitive, and honestly… a complete waste of time.

Every time I had to explain something to a client or document a feature,
I ended up spending way too long just drawing diagrams.

So I thought — why am I doing this manually?
That’s when I started building a small tool for myself.

Something where I could just write logic… and instantly get a flowchart.
After a few iterations, it actually started saving me hours.
So I turned it into a simple tool called CodeFlow.

👉 You type your logic
👉 It generates a flowchart instantly
👉 You can export it in seconds

It’s still improving, but it’s already been super useful for me.

I’m curious —
how are you guys currently handling flowcharts or system design diagrams?
