There are many verticals where state machines can be useful, but I think DeFi / Smart Contract is one area where I think they become more valuable, given the time it takes to implement a smart contract. Quite useful for protocol designers in the very early stages in my opinion. I was in fact designing a protocol and wanted a visual way to represent it, that's when I built this tool. I knew about mermaid, state machines, did not know about xstate.
Yes, it looks similar to XState. When I built it, I didn't know of XState, but of course, I did use a lot of AI to create this, so the configuration is similar to XState.
But my plan is to see if there is opportunity with this elsewhere, orthogonal to what stately seems to be doing.
Happy to hear your feedback.
