One way would be to use emacs’ artist-mode to draw ascii lines and boxes then use ditaa[1] to transform them into images. It’s not a pretty packaged GUI app but it’s certainly an option [1] https://ditaa.sourceforge.net/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
Love it! If you've never looked into it, you might find the old ditaa inspiring. Looks like you're already well on your way to a product, though. Source: over 1 year ago
Something not mentioned here is http://ditaa.sourceforge.net/ This project is in java (ew) but it's open source and could probably use a rewrite in something more modern. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
Ditaa - a small command-line utility written in Java, that can convert diagrams drawn using ascii art. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
It would be nice to have this tool: http://ditaa.sourceforge.net/ So ASCII drawings could be rendered into pretty ones. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

However, then we're right back at the question of why bother using markdown if you're making complicated graphics in another tool anyway. I love Monodraw and use it for many things (it can create svg and png and other formats not just ascii) but yeah, it doesn't seem like a great solution... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I’ve been using MonoDraw https://monodraw.helftone.com/ for this exact sort of stuff for years, was one of the main reasons I bought the program actually. A good diagram in a block comment right above or below done complicated code is a ready powerful way to make sure you’re going to be able to maintain that code in the future. I find flowchart style diagrams for finite state machines and UML(ish) sequence... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
The given URL is about what's new in 1.6 and mostly boils down to: * "app icon, document icon and welcome window", * "ability to simultaneously edit multiple shapes of the same type", * "minimum OS requirement has been raised to macOS 11 Big Sur".
