tinytools

tinytools is a mono-space unicode diagram editor written in Haskell.

architecture

tinytools follows a strict MVC architecture. This repository contains the model and controller. The view/controller is connected to the model using a reflex interface defined by GoatWidget.

tinytools-vty is currently the only view implementation. It is written in reflex-vty and runs in a terminal yay. Please see tinytools-vty.
