ViViD Clip web version

I have been developing software for 20 years now. Almost all of that time I was diagramming what I do. I think visually most of the time. I better remember drawings then anything else.
It so happens that I worked with a number of packages, and was an early adopter of Visio, long before Microsoft bougth them.

There were a number of reasons that I was not satisfied with straightforward diagramming tools. One was that I had to rearrange shapes lots of times. There are others that I might some time later recount in full.

I wanted a tool that would allow me type and that would draw what I typed. I first had this idea in 1995. In 1999 I had a job that required a lot of diagramming, and web was there so I started researching it. I didn't find what I hoped to find. In 2004 I began writing infrastructures for a 200 man year project and looked around again. Same frustrating result. This time I decided to write it for myself. It took me longer then expected, after a number of dead ends, but here it finally is.

ViViD Clip takes your text from windows clipboard and creates an image and puts it in the clipbaord again. So it copy-hotkey-paste process.

For those who want to see it first there is a web based version. It is slow, as it runs on a very slow connectin and underpowered server, but still allows one to try it first online.
