Idea: Filter & Box hover links highlight #328

Open I2rys opened 2 years ago

Hi, First off this is the most powerful workflow tool I have used and the fact that It's FREE It's just awesome & I hope It will still be free in the future! I have 2 suggestions:

  1. Is it possible to add a filter for Flowchart? Like you can filter boxes that matches the string & also highlight It's root branch.
  2. Is it possible to add a highlight feature where If you hover on a box every boxes connected to it and connected to those boxes lines glows up(Highlight) so It's easier to see the boxes connected to the box you hover?

Both suggestions are literally game changing for me and should be an option that you can enable & disable and I'm asking for this suggestions because I don't believe flowchart is just your normal workflow tool I have also used it for OSINT & many other stuff not just workflow. I'm sure other people will like this suggestions too. Thanks! :)

Thanks @I2rys The basic version will continue to be free forever.

I think this is a cool idea. I followed up over email to get your thoughts on how it should work.

I'm struggling to imagine exactly how this would work. In many graphs, if we're looking at parents, children recursively then the entire graph will be connected– so in my mind it makes sense to highlight parents, children, or siblings. Do you agree?

Also if you wanted to show me one of your OSINT use cases (maybe by email) that would really help me understand these features better. I'm glad you're enjoying the app!
