• 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 / about 11 hours 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

• Ask HN: What is that "I didn't know I needed" tool/item until you saw it here

  It could be that I'm just one of the 10,000 some days (https://xkcd.com/1053/) but there has been a few times that I've seen an article on HN and went "Umm, I didn't know I needed that, but it fits into a niche use that I have." My last one was Markdeep in a discussion about markup languages. https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/ Or Picotron (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39786984)... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file

  I didn't see anyone mention Markdeep [0] yet. I started with a notes.txt file for the system I maintain. I found myself gradually adopting Markdown syntax because I need bulleted lists and headings to separate different sections. I also needed hyperlinks to documentation or StackOverflow answers. So one day I just added the Markdeep tags to the bottom of the file and renamed it to notes.md.html I still keep it... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Show HN: Durdraw – a modern ANSI art editor for modern Unix terminals

  Don't discount #2 there. I still make and use ASCII art when commenting source code. Flow charts! ASCII art diagrams can be automatically rendered to an image, too: https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Mathematical documents on ChromeOS?

  I started using MarkDown tools that support MathJax. As my preferred environment is as simple as possible I'm using Markdeep (https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/) and hammer and chisel (aka vi). Working well for me. Source: 8 months ago

• My uses for vimwiki have dried up... and it makes me a little sad

  I never tried using vim wiki because I was already using markdeep for a similar purpose. I could write markdown from the comfort of vim, then get rendering in a browser basically for free. I have toyed with the idea of creating a custom version of the vim wiki plugin which creates .md.html pages with the markdeep script code in the appropriate place. Thus allowing for the best of both worlds: fast editing in vim... Source: 11 months ago
