I find IPE to be a life-savior when it comes to generating physics illustrations which come with their share of math toppings. The editor has nice utilities for latching on to the boundaries, intersection, center etc of geometric figures. The spline tool is the best I have seen anywhere. Layers are handled with grace. LaTeX is rendered instantly. It is very easy to produce a multipage document. What more can one possibly want?

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.

I really like the C4 model as part of a larger toolset. If you’re also using it then I recommend looking at https://icepanel.io/ Great tooling strongly based on C4, I use it a lot. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
