On: Why Codeless Software Is Doomed to Fail

"Diagrams will replace code" = "Flowcharts will replace novels"

Is there actually a platform where I could read a flowchart or story-board version of a novel? I can think of quite a few novels where this would have made my reading experience much better.

Comics / graphic novels.

twine gives you something similar. but i think you are looking for something else

Thanks, Twine looks cool. I've never heard of it before. It is kind of what I was thinking about - being able to read a story (in this case a branching one) by going over the diagram. Actually, thinking of it, Detroit: Become Human had a similar nice display of narrative choices.

That is kind of what a comic book is, isn't it?

...and there's a reason why comic books, like visual programs, are relatively rare outside of niche industries.
