Sure, I recently made a post about this as well here(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46943538)

Happy to hear your feedback.

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.
