Flowchart-based planning tool to see the big picture (miro and asana)

Hey HN, My dad, friend, and I have been working hard on building Twigflo, a flowchart-based project planning tool to help teams visualize their projects using the concept reverse planning. When I was a data consultant, I struggled keeping my team and clients aligned to a specific goal. Spreadsheets or equivalent tracking tools did a good job showing what to do but didn't explain why we were doing it and where we were going. So, like many of us here, we invested the time into building our own tool. We tried to make Twiglfo as goal-oriented and BIG PICTURE as possible. You and your team can set a goal and define how you get there. The key thing is everything you put on the canvas has to lead to the goal itself. If it cant be tied to the goal, no need to do it. We've had some early users (not friends or family) call this their preferred method of visualizing and communicating the big picture. You can easily see bottlenecks, dependencies, what can be done in parallel, etc. It takes visual concepts from tools like Miro and task management aspects of tools like Asana. We believe its best place in your current workflow is before work gets started and when the need for alignment is most important. There are still clear areas where we can improve the experience but if these resonate with you, then give Twigflo a try. It's free to sign up. If you do, we currently only support desktop. Let me know if you have any feedback or questions!
