LucidChart is a web-based diagramming and flowchart software. It is built on web standards such as HTML5 and Javascript and provides a visual communication platform for individuals and virtual teams. It can be used to create informational diagrams, flowcharts, organisational charts, website wireframes, UML designs, mind maps, electrical designs, and many other diagram types. It features a drag-and-drop interface and easy to use collaboration capabilities[1]. Being a browser-based application with support for all modern web browsers like Firefox, Safari and Opera browser, it runs on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Underlying Technology
LucidChart uses canvas for all rendering, including many of the UI elements. Uses excanvas for IE8 support.[2]
LucidChart's user interface makes heavy use of both jQuery and Google's Closure Library (which Google uses for Gmail, Google Docs, etc).
Launch
LucidChart, a Provo, Utah-based startup, first announced its LucidChart collaborative diagramming application[3] in December 2008 as a public beta version.
As of April 15, 2010, LucidChart is available on the Google Apps Marketplace as an installable app, allowing a degree of integration with Google Apps services[4].
