## What it is
Flowy is a minimal, dependency-free vanilla JavaScript library for building drag-and-drop flowchart editors in web apps. It provides block snapping, rearrangement, import/export of flowchart data, and mobile support via a simple API.

## Use cases
- add a flowchart editor to a web app
- build automation workflow builders like zapier
- create mind mapping tools
- embed drag-and-drop node diagrams in the browser
- let users visually build simple programs
- save and reload flowchart data in a webapp

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dependency-free flowchart canvas in vanilla JS
- you want drag-and-drop block snapping with minimal setup
- you're building automation or workflow builder UIs
- you need mobile-friendly flowchart editing

## When to avoid
- you need npm package management or modern build tooling integration
- you need advanced diagram features like edge routing or many node types
- you need a maintained project with active development
- you need React/Vue component integration out of the box

## Facets
