CLUSTER GRAPH-EDITOR-DESKTOP · 14 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2009-03-08
Graph and diagram editors
This cluster comprises desktop and web tools for creating, editing, and visualizing graphs and diagrams, supporting formats like Graphviz, Mermaid, and D2, along with specialized editors for quest graphs and project Gantt charts. Dated entries span from 2009 to early 2026, with an early prototype, a long gap, then a few entries in 2020 and later, including two in early 2026. Traction leaders are ZDraft (1 star), GraphFlow (3 stars), and quest-editor (0 stars), with GraphFlow showing the highest activity signal.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 14 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
