Hey Product Hunt, I'm Elliott, the maker of Nodea. I built this because linear AI chat kept failing me the same way every time. I'd get a great answer, ask one tangent, and suddenly the thread I actually cared about was gone. Copy-pasting into fresh chats to "branch" by hand got old fast. Nodea treats the whole conversation as a canvas. Every reply is a node you can fork from, so you can chase a tangent, compare two approaches against each other, or jump back to any earlier point without losing your place or starting over. It runs on Claude Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus, and there's a free tier so you can try it without a card. It's also open source (MIT) if you want to look under the hood or self-host: https://github.com/Elliott-Crosb... I'd really value your honest feedback, especially on the canvas itself. Does branching match how you actually think through a problem, or does it get in the way? And what would make it click for you on the first try?
