Loopy is an online tool that makes it possible tovery easily run interactive animated simulations to explain how several elements of a system interact with each other.
A small tool entirely online as we like them. Simple to understand and simple to use to facilitate understanding or illustrate a complex concept. Loopy will make it easier for you by giving you the ability to create animated simulations to show how different components of a system work. This can also be useful to illustrate and explain the causes and effects of different data. Animated mind maps can also be created to demonstrate complicated concepts. In short, Loopy can be useful in many situations.
The added value of Loopy is based on the possibility for the reader of your diagram to interact with it allowing them to change the importance of the components of the original scheme.
On the Loopy website you will find many examples and models that can serve as a source of inspiration. To start, just click on the "Make a Model from Scratch" button. The tool editor will open on a blank sheet and toolbar on the left . You will find something to add blocks and links between them and play on colors or add text and legends. Everything is done with the end of the mouse. Just draw a round even clumsily and Loopy will show you a perfect round that can serve as a core or knot of your card. Items move from the end of the cursor and you can always go back or clear an item or interaction.
Once your schema is finished you will be able to simply share by email, you can also download it in animated GIF format or insert it via a code provided on your site or blog.
Loopy offers on its homepage a particularly clear instruction manual through a series of videos explaining the different options available.
Loopy is free, open source and ad-free. A nice surprise.
