tinytools-0.1.0.3: README.md

# tinytools
`tinytools` is a mono-space unicode flow-chart editor written in Haskell.

# architecture
`tinytools` follows a strict MVC architecture. This repository contains the platform-independent model and controller.
The view/controller is connected to the model using a [reflex](https://github.com/reflex-frp/reflex) interface defined by `GoatWidget`.

[tinytools-vty](https://github.com/pdlla/tinytools-vty) is currently the only view implementation. It is written in [reflex-vty](https://github.com/reflex-frp/reflex-vty) and runs in a terminal yay. Please see [tinytools-vty](https://github.com/pdlla/tinytools-vty) if you'd like to try it out.
