Last week @jona Pomerance presented the interactive and narrated #BetterCatastrophe flowchart at #infoplus2023 in Edinburgh. For this occasion we also released Interactive Flowchart as a free reusable template with detailed explanations of its structure, a visual step-by-step tutorial, and 12 student examples covering a range of well-known personal dilemmas.
