Note to self about #online #diagrams and #charts:
  • excalidraw.com for sleek hand-drawn diagrams (just a few shapes, but great UI)
  • app.diagrams.net for blocky, corporate-looking diagrams (plenty of clipart, bloated UI)
  • mermaid.live for auto generation of diagrams belonging to a handful of types (computing, engineering, business), similar to #Graphviz (very limited, but declarative and text-based)
  • asciiflow.com for the lolz, basically

Excalidraw

Excalidraw is a whiteboard tool that lets you easily sketch diagrams that have a hand-drawn feel to them.

Asciiflow reminds me of good ol’ TheDraw back then. I had a lot of fun with that software in the old BBS times.

tripu reshared this.

Too specific as a generic tool (and I was looking for web-based ones), but thank you!

It’s a wrapper around Graphviz, which I love :)

I love this for doing UML Sequence Diagrams. Most of Rational Unified Process I've dropped along with much of their diagrams but I still find sequence diagrams useful. https://sequencediagram.org/

More examples welcome of these types of:
- online diagrams
- flow charts
- even art conversions like the ASCII art etc!

(and mentioning / indicating which it came from would be ideal as a pic - I'm guessing you did it this in order of the list as pictured so that's good)
