Application logic getting out of control?

Feel like there are corners of your app where no-one knows what's going on?

You should try Sextant.

What is Sextant?

Sextant lets you chart your application flows, then implement them in code. Just run a CLI command, which opens a GUI. You can:

• Build chains of events that span across multiple systems
• Annotate them with descriptions, test cases, and branches
• Fully type all events that pass between systems using GraphQL
• Generate type-safe code right to your IDE

This means:

• The same tool you use to plan your app can be used to maintain it
• Your documentation never goes out of date
• You get type-safe code across languages and domains

Right now, Sextant only works with Typescript. But we're planning to offer a plugin system that can generate code in any language. PR's welcome!

Sextant is currently in an experimental, proof-of-concept stage. We're looking for feedback, and passionate open-source contributors to help.
