• Ask HN: Guidelines for making clear architecture diagrams

  Conventions exist but they're mostly crap. Along the KISS principle, boxed elements with connecting nodes are the best (most universally understood). In mathematical terms, this is an 'undirected graph', a 'directed graph' is the same but with directionality on the links between nodes. The standard toolkit for defining these in software is https://graphviz.org/ If you need to show the interaction between elements... - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• Should I Open Source my Company?

  Thoughtful post, thanks. However, this tripped me up: "our GPU graph viz server" -- I couldn't understand how you a) scale graphviz[1] on a GPU and b) make money hosting graphviz. Quick read of your web site cleared that up :) [1] https://graphviz.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Trippy 0.9.0 Release

  Tracing flows: breakdown complex UDP/TCP ECMP traces into individual flows (i.e. Common network path); render a chart of flows in GraphViz DOT format (example). Source: 5 months ago

• Calculate the difference and intersection of any two regexes

  It has the look of graphviz about it, which is an excellent tool. Often helpful in debugging anything related to graphs. https://graphviz.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• What are some tools to help in visualizing concepts

  If you are talking about making visualisations for other people it would depend if you want to make them interactive, static, or a mix of the two. I’m not really sure what to recommend given I don’t know - but here are a few places to start: - Python tutor - manim - processing - graphviz - simple but good - draw.io. Source: 11 months ago

• Monodraw

  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

• Adding ASCII export to my grid based low-fi wireframing app TinyUX

  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

• Monodraw – a non-subscription, powerful ASCII art editor

  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

• Kroki - Diagrams from textual descriptions!

  Ditaa - a small command-line utility written in Java, that can convert diagrams drawn using ascii art. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
