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 1 month ago
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 / 5 months ago

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: about 1 year ago
You could install the optimizer Inkscape uses internally and process your files with a super simple shell script. When reading the inkscape command line help, it does not seem to offer any option to export optimized SVGs from there. Source: about 1 year ago
Inkscape uses Scour under the hood for optimized SVG export. Source: over 1 year ago
First make sure all your icons are saved as 'Optimized SVG' to remove Inkscape specific data and unnecessary id-attributes. Inkscape uses 'Scour' for this under the hood, so you can just use that directly to convert your files from the command line. I recommend the options --strip-xml-prolog --remove-metadata --enable-id-stripping --renderer-workaround. Now you only need to replace the outermost ... With ... For... Source: about 2 years ago
The script optimised the SVG using Scour. This removes some metadata and also shortens IDs as well as strip out comments. For the PNG files we used OptiPNG on the maximum optimisation setting. This can be slow on larger files, but for favicons should not take long. Here’s the before and after comparison of files sizes for a particular favicon, using the script:. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
I also recommend Inkscape, it also has scour built-in to it. When saving a SVG select the option "optimized SVG" which will give you options to pass to scour to lower the amount of markup there is. You can then do some hand editing after this to further remove any markup you don't want. Source: over 2 years ago
