Whimsical: A Great Web-App For Creating Flowcharts, Wireframes, Mindmaps

One of the main projects I am involved at the moment is about re-creating the structure of a website and optimizing user flow on the page. The client of ours is using Whimsical to work on that task collaboratively.

I liked the web-app form the start. Simple to use, clearly communicating on what it can be used for, easy to collaborate, no feature-overload. Just a great user experience. I have looked at lots of apps with a similar feature-set, and I am not easily amazed by such apps, but this is an exception.

Whimsical focuses on 4 main use-cases:

1. Flowcharts
2. Wireframes
3. Sticky Notes
4. Mind Maps

Of course, you can combine all those in one project.

Here’s a screenshot of a Whimsical project I quickly created to show some of the features.

Whimsical is offering a free plan to get started.

Note: You are not tracked when using Whimsical. Great!
