Hello Hunters! We are super excited to share the brand new Creately with the PH community! Creately first launched in Sept 2009 and we’ve been around for a while now. :) This new Creately is a from-the-scratch rewrite of the product with the thinking matured over 10 years of learning how and why people draw diagrams. The biggest takeaway for us was that for the larger part of the population drawing diagrams on devices is a chore. However, sketching ideas on paper is a creative activity people love. Our primary mission is to make drawing diagrams on devices as enjoyable as it is on paper. The new Creately is intentionally simpler to help people focus on the core ideas and not the tool. What’s new - Even simpler UX. This is the big deal. - Nice contextual toolbars and shortcuts to draw and style shapes - Many new diagram types with specific behavior for each - 1000+ shapes that were individually crafted/coded - A new, faster rendering engine for text and shapes - Pinpointed comment threads and discussions for collaboration - Slick real-time collaboration - 100+ core templates (+ ~2 Million examples and templates from the community) - Integrations to Google Drive, Slack and Atlassian Confluence (more coming) - Tons more capabilities planned as we experiment based on user feedback. To celebrate the PH launch we are offering 25% off any plan with the code “PH2020” for the next 3 days. We want to solve this ‘diagram problem’ and we’d love your feedback!

"Creately first launched in Sept 2009" ... now v3.0 has "Even simpler UX." Creately is probably a fascinating case study in UI/UX design and I look forward to playing with the interface this weekend. In the 10 years since Creately launched, what are the biggest takeways in UI/UX design? Anything you wish you knew at the beginning? Upvoted!

@rayliverified Thanks for the upvote. I'm not the most qualified to answer this. I will talk to our CEO. This will probably require a blog post :) .

@malinda_senanayake Glad you found it useful. We have some big plans for mind maps with some features specific to it.

Wow, this is excellent. I love the design of the shapes and it is great that you have the new AWS icons built-in. It would be nice to have some Kubernetes-specific icons. Great product!

@estebanrules Thanks for the feedback Damian. I think you've given us the idea for the next shape library. I will add this to the roadmap.
Damian Esteban
@rumblinglankan Excellent. Here is a repo that contains the community icons - there are other sets out there as well: https://github.com/kubernetes/co...

@estebanrules Took a while, but today we added the library. Took some while to figure out how various shapes interact with each other. https://creately.com/lp/kubernet... . Do have a look and let me know your thoughts. FYI, we'll be adding Google Cloud and Azure icons within the week.
Vlad Korobov
Do you have mindmaps/treemaps?

Looks like a competitor for Miro

@yusefulmind I guess you can consider us as a Miro competitor. But our biggest competitor is MS Visio :-).
Peter Friedemann
That looks like I could actually use it myself 😁
Nikolay Skoropadsky

Love this. I do a lot of whiteboarding so am def going to try this. I noticed your signup flow has an issue where placeholders don't disappear, also my auto-generated chrome password was rejected (see https://app.usebubbles.com/be4fa...).

@tom4 Thanks for the feedback. I will get our product team to look into this asap. I hope you managed to sign in and use the product. Let us know how it went. I will get back to you soon about the issues.

Hi, can you feed it a list of employees and the reporting rank and it will create the org chart automatically?

Hi! Thanks for your making great app,I start using it instead of draw.io. Btw I have an idea that you put this app link on your official cite. The reason is I got lost to use app after I signed up on oficial cite.

@kii Hi, I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean by this. Can you explain a bit more?. Glad you switched :-). Is there any specific reason for the switch?
