Introducing Custom Variables

Machinations' latest major release introduces Custom Variables that you can use across all your diagrams and that can retrieve parameters from external data sources.

Custom Variables bring you:
1. The ability to retrieve data from external sources
2. Availability across your account and your team's
3. Easier to maintain diagrams - changes propagate throughout your models
4. Cleaner diagrams - express the same complexity with fewer nodes & connections

...and there's more:
We've also made changes to the interface and expanded existing features like Version History, Play History, and Layers, to lift quality-of-life.

Great quality-of-life updates and a fantastic new feature. My designs don't even require some of the specific custom variable functions and I'm still excited about them!

Greate explanation. No idea how it works. Nicely done

Great update! Keep up the good work.
Dark mode next? :)

Good update, good features thanks. But it is still missing an ability to create a "pool shortcut". This is necessary to decrease the number of cross-diagram connections. You just create a shortcut of a mother-pool and put it wherever it is convenient for the wiring.
