Lucidchart
What did you like?
I like that Lucidchart is easy and intuitive to use without having to watch a lot of explainer videos, I can just jump right in with creating my charts. I like that I drag and drop chart elements and use key commands as I would use in other software to move around, zoom in and out, undo/redo etc. And exporting in different formats is super useful.
What did you not like?
I wish I could convert shapes into smart objects such as in Photoshop so that I can just update the parent smart object shape and then the changes are applied to all instances using that shape. Same for color, would be great to have a master color and I can update and it updates all it's instances globally. I also dislike the pricing for the software as I wish they has an even more affordable tier for students.
Which problems are you solving with the product?
My main purpose was to create a flow chart for a Python app Iw as building so I can see the logic routes that the user could take. I need to see if I created a flow that is user friendly and makes the most sense..
