Help everyone understand complex systems using lightweight and interactive visuals. IcePanel helps technical and non-technical people model their software architecture in a simple and structured way using the C4 model. Create diagrams at different levels of detail, from high-level to low-level, that connect to your code. Tell dynamic stories about your architecture using Flows and Tags to help onboard new team members, or evaluate key user journeys.

For the architectural documentation like this one, the C4 Model [0] is a much better fit than UML - primarily because it's less rigid in notation and modeling components. And in terms of tooling, I find IcePanel [1] to have the right combination of flexibility and simplicity. [0] https://c4model.com/ [1] https://icepanel.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

I use UML quite a bit but it's never really what I'm after, somnething more modern and fluid and gui driven that more people can use. Icepanel [1] looks really cool but I haven't tested it and I'm not sure it really fits my use case. It seems like it's mostly for api driven rpc/grpc/rest services when I kind of want to use it to visualize backend/infra/terraform sort of things. Might be interesting to you.

1. We started using https://icepanel.io/ for microservices, Software, anything thats documentable for later read. 2. More diagrams, less key strokes 3. We have dedicated page owners on confluence, its mix of engineers, leaders, PM's, QA etc. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
The best tool for writing C4 documentation I have seen so far is https://icepanel.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
My exploration of LLM-based tools for code understanding started with DeepWiki, which I have been using since its early release. As my interest shifted toward analyzing private repositories and experimenting more deeply with the underlying mechanics, I began looking for open-source alternatives. This led me to deepwiki-rs and later OpenDeepWiki. After starring OpenDeepWiki on GitHub, one of the authors of Davia... - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
