I am currently collecting PoC for the Internet. I did about 9 years of iOS development, so I think in these contexts / concepts. What I need to build is similar to UIScrollView / CATiledLayer for the web.
I need to create a tool that allows users to create their own flowcharts that I have already created on iOS. I am prototyping on the Internet and I'm not sure where to start. So far, I have played with several canvas libraries.
I want to create something that can have a fixed viewport with other components displayed off-screen. The viewport has fixed borders that you can expand, and allows me to put subcomponents in the view and move them if I want.
My internet / javascript experience is pretty much Ember, React, and the plain old ES5 / ES6. My HTML skills are not so strong, and I think that maybe I missed something fundamental.
My goal is to have something that can work with the existing reactor that my company uses. I am happy to give up my decision, but would like advice on the right direction. I feel that in this area I have virtually no domain knowledge.
