In the same kind of vein: I was recently very impressed by this pretri net editor https://pes.vsb.cz/petrineteditor/#/model

Petri nets are cool. They’re sort of like if finite state machines could be multithreaded.

I first found out about petri nets when reading the writings of an organization called “statebox”. Statebox was interested in petri nets and commutative diagrams (as well as many other category theory concepts). I read some of their papers, was entranced, and it became my dream to work there. Unfortunately their homepage now is just the text “imagine being a category theorist” with a laughing-crying emoji, so I have no idea what happened to them.
