• Tools for documenting solar and power system changes for permits

  I used GIMP (https://www.gimp.org) and Dia Diagram Editor (http://dia-installer.de) I can't say I was very happy with either for what I was doing (laying out mount points for solar panels) FreeCAD (https://www.freecad.org) looks like a good option as does Inkscape but I believe it has a high learning curve. I am also playing around with Open Solar's online tool (https://app.opensolar.com). Source: 12 months ago

• Program to write measures, and the shape is drawn with proper size

  Perhaps the old Dia (works on W10). There's a portable version on Portableapps.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• Your choices for a MS Visio alternative to draw system diagrams

  Its a bit old and pretty simple, but I use Dia frequently. Source: about 1 year ago

• Did not realize there was another physics sub.

  Dia Diagram Editor for simple schematics and flowchart type diagrams for something very quick and easy to pick up in five minutes, and. Source: about 1 year ago

• Things to do next and how to secure my network.

  Project 1: Use the open source UML diagrammer, DIA (link) to make a readable network map :). Source: over 1 year ago

• SVG Viewer – View, edit, and optimize SVGs

• Learn SVG with 25 examples – How to code images in HTML

  There is also Boxy SVG (https://boxy-svg.com) which combines both designer and developer oriented functionality and uses SVG as its native file format. Unlike Illustrator/Sketch/Inkscape it can also create and manipulate SVG animation elements (https://boxy-svg.com/blog/21) - a very powerful feature which is now supported by all major browsers. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• How to change your instance logo

  What I did for my instance (aipub.social) was I took the original logo file from github (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/tree/main/app/javascript/images) which is "logo-symbol-wordmark.svg" and pasted the SVG url into this online SVG editor, https://boxy-svg.com/ that allowed me to edit the existing one to my liking, in my case I just wanted to change "Mastodon" to "AIpub". This keeps it the same file... Source: 11 months ago

• My first logo: Launchify - a web dev & IT company geared towards launching new companies with their websites and IT/software suites. [SVGs & context included in comments 😘]

  Thanks!! Agree 100% re the edges. I've actually tried that and failed to make it look nice. I'm very new to this and I only have Inkscape & BoxySVG, since I use a Chromebook which doesn't work with Illustrator. I'll keep trying, though, as I fully agree with the concept. Source: over 1 year ago
