I keep coming across things that make me want to learn enough React to futz with things like that.

This. Is.  Cool.

It is cool.

There are two types of people in the world; those that use flowcharts and those that don't.  I'm not one that does.  But I do wonder if this could be used for quickie genealogy charting? 

Actually, I like flowcharts and that's fine with pen and paper, but if I want to do something cleaner, it's usually just too much effort. I used to have a "mind mapping" tool that was easy to use, but not quite what I was after.

I like the idea that you can just type and get something without my messy handwriting (people say I write like a third grader).
