p.s. This took ~9 hours of back-and-forth with Claude Code. What an era.

It supports standard flowcharts (great for academic diagrams) and Gantt-style timelines. I heavily rely on timeline viz to see where my projects are and where I am. Used this format for 6+ years with my writing group. See attachment for my 2026 timeline and goals.

Just built ✨FlowCraft✨, a free, open-source diagramming app (thanks Claude Code!) Browser-based, no server, no signup, no tracking, no subscription, no dependencies, and no Internet required. Just open a single HTML file and start diagramming. AGPL. github.com/sysilviakim/...

This was a really fun paper to write (but a pain to collect data!) It took me embarrasingly long to wrap up and submit, so I'm thrilled it's now in the books.

I've spent September in a burnout. Transition wasn't easy, I miss old academic Twitter, and little griefs added up. I'm still finding my routine and ways around things. My responses may be slower, but I'm picking up. Cheers to October!
