Lucidchart is a web-based diagramming software which allows users to collaborate and work together in real time to create flowcharts, organisational charts, website wireframes, UML designs, mind maps, software prototypes, and many other diagram types. Built on web standards such as HTML5 and JavaScript, Lucidchart is supported in all modern web browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer 8+.
History
In December 2008, Lucid Software Inc., a startup based in Salt Lake City, Utah, first announced its Lucidchart visual collaboration platform as a public beta version.[1] The current major revision of Lucidchart was released on July 31, 2010.[2]
Following this release, Lucidchart was featured in Techcrunch,[3] Mashable,[4] ReadWriteWeb,[5] and PC World,[6] with GigaOM[7] noting:
"Lucidchart is a graphically-rich web application that makes working on a diagram with your entire team a simple matter. The tool is effectively an online alternative to Microsoft Visio."
In April 2010, Lucidchart became available in the Google Apps Marketplace.[8] In December 2010, Lucidchart was included as a featured application in the launch of the Chrome Web Store, where it became the top paid application.[5][9]
In July 2011, Lucid Software announced it had raised US$1M in seed funding from 500 Startups, 2M Companies, K9 Ventures, and other angel investors.[3]
In summer 2013, Lucid released its Chrome Packaged App to the Chrome Web Store, which allowed users to work offline and sync their documents.
Features
Lucidchart features a drag-and-drop interface and real-time collaboration capabilities.[10] Lucidchart allows printing to vector PDFs as well as raster JPEG and PNG images.
In addition to working on major operating systems like Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, Lucidchart is also functional on the iPad through the Safari browser. On the iPad, Lucidchart allows users to touch-draw shapes which are automatically converted to standard symbols.[11]
In 2011, Lucidchart became the first web-based application to offer compatibility with Microsoft Visio, the leading desktop application for diagramming.[11]
In 2013, Lucidchart released a native iPad app.[12]
Integration
Lucidchart is fully integrated with Google Drive, Google Apps, JIRA, Confluence, Jive, and Box.
