Changelog #3: Flow overhaul

§🤖 Feature: Flow refactor

#241 Use Zustand as source of truth

When I started prototyping Specfy I did a benchmark on graph library and picked x6 by ant. It's a really nice library that comes with a lot of built-in features and extensibility. However after a few weeks I hit some bugs and performance issues that were critical enough for me to look for altenatives.

My second choice was ReactFlow which is a more mature project but mostly focus on Flow rather than visualisation. I knew I would need to stretch a bit the library to make it work. And since I never used it before I did some mistakes during the implementation, especially regarding state management. Lately there was more and more issues with the way I managed the state and it became clear I needed to refactor the code.

So this week I reworked the state management to use Zustand as the main source of truth for the graph. That allows better performance, more control of the pipeline and finally unlock the possibility to create the much awaited Ctrl+Z feature.

§Highlight

Along the refactor, those features have also been added:

1. 🙌🏻 Automatic edge placement
2. 📈 Automatically expand parent on drag
3. 🛠️ Added toolbar for quick actions
4. Smarter auto layout
5. Smoother interactions
