Meet Flostep

1 month ago

Flostep makes system diagrams easier to explain by turning them into flows that people can walk through one interaction at a time. This first public update introduces the core workflow for designing, presenting and sharing technical systems.

What’s included in this first public overview:

  • A drag-and-drop canvas with ready-made frontend, service, database, cache, queue and external API components.
  • Labelled connections for requests, responses and repeated interactions between the same parts of a system.
  • Step-by-step playback that highlights the active interaction while the rest of the diagram fades back.
  • Flow and sequence views for switching between architectural context and the order of events.
  • Shareable links and embeddable live diagrams that colleagues can explore without relying on a static screenshot.

The result is a diagram that works equally well in a design review, an onboarding session or an interview. This changelog can now explain future improvements in the same accessible, walk-through style as the product itself.
