Hi everyone, sharing a tool I have been working on for modeling processes and systems as code. Write YAML with spreadsheet-like formulas and generate flowcharts. Still pretty early on but wanted to share.

https://systems.shellysys.com/demo

Looking to tackle the problem of having to manually design and document processes using graphical tools (like Vizio) when there are many complex, interconnected, or nested processes that are subject to change in an evolving system (such as a web application that is actively being built and enhanced, as I've personally experienced).

I built Shelly Systems because I like the idea of UML and SysML creating a single source of truth for system analysis, using YAML as an easily readable data format, and using Excel spreadsheets for item tracking and basic data analysis.

The link sends you to the interactive demo where you can play around with making flowcharts and using formulas. There's also a guide available on the page for how to use the YAML-based language.

Would love to hear thoughts! Thanks!
