• 9 tools, libraries and extensions our developer can't live without (and why)

  ‍Graphviz is a graph visualization tool - useful for visualizing things such as flow charts. You write out the graph in a special language called the "DOT language" where you specify what's in the graph, and graphviz handles all of the layout / visualization for you. It is insanely easy to programmatically create directed graphs and I use it when debugging complex state machines. I have a CLI shortcut to render... - Source: dev.to / 1 day ago

• 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 2 months 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 / 5 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: 7 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 / 9 months ago

• Could someone give me some feedback on my first 2 diagrams?

  You are welcome! It’s a nice way of breaking down problems. You can go one step further and generate them from code using something like Structurizr (https://structurizr.org/) if you want to get fancy. Source: about 1 year ago

• System Design How to?

  Regarding documentation, I created the C4 model for visualising software architecture as a way to introduce some structure into architecture diagrams, because even today most of what I see is still ad hoc boxes and arrows, with little thought into what (abstractions) and how (notation) an architecture is described. My own tooling (https://structurizr.org) allows you to create multiple diagrams from a single model,... Source: about 1 year ago

• D2, a text-to-diagram tool and library written in Go

  Would love to see a comparison to structurizr, which is a higher level dsl that essentially renders to any of the other three you're comparing. Source: over 1 year ago

• Diagram as Code

  I just watched a goto conference talk by Simon Brown on https://structurizr.org/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Diagrams as Code 2.0

  You can look at https://structurizr.org/ for a free version. Source: about 2 years ago
