Flowmaps docs

Flowmaps docs explain every part of the visual app planner in plain words, from your first idea to a feature your AI builder has shipped.

Getting started
New to building software? This page takes you from zero to your first feature, step by step. You don't need to know how to code.
Glossary
Building software comes with a lot of new words. Here they are in plain English, in alphabetical order.

Plan

Ventures and mind maps
Flowmaps gives every business idea its own whiteboard that you keep for weeks or months. That's the core idea: one long-lived mind map per venture, so your thinking builds up over time instead of getting lost in notes and chats.
Kanban board
The Kanban board shows your ideas as cards in columns, sorted by status. The mind map is where you think; the board is where you see what's next.
AI suggestions
When you add an idea, Claude suggests follow-up ideas: the missing pieces, prerequisites and open questions you'd otherwise discover too late.
Flags
Flags are automatic warnings on your ideas. When an idea touches something risky, like payments, personal data or expensive services, Flowmaps puts a small badge on the card, so you think about it before you build, not after.
Skills
Skills are your rules for the AI: your brand, your tech stack, how you write. Add them once, and Flowmaps gives them to Claude every time it writes build prompts or builds a feature. The AI then builds the way you want, without you repeating yourself.

Knowledge base
Every feature you ship deserves a help article. Flowmaps drafts one for each Shipped card, written for your customers, in your product's language. You review it, publish it, and it appears on your public help page. You can also download everything as Markdown for your own website.
