• Ask HN: What alternatives to Adobe products are you switching to?

  For photo editing and manipulation 1) https://www.gimp.org/ 2) https://www.digikam.org/ 3) https://www.darktable.org/ Vector based editing tool 1) https://inkscape.org/ UI/UX 1). https://www.sketch.com/ I haven't found a tool that is as good as Adobe Indesign for desktop publishing. - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

  Well, there is Serif's suite: https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/ (There's also a Photo and page layout app) or the open-source stuff: - https://krita.org/en/ - https://inkscape.org/ - https://www.scribus.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago

• Contextual SVG fill and stroke values - new SVG, goody!

  I created the initial version of the example in Inkscape v1.3.2. It produces markup that uses context-stroke. Vector graphics editors tend to be on the leading edge when it comes to adoption of SVG markup. It is the browsers that lag more often. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: Modern Day Equivalent to HyperCard?

  Agreed. It would be nice if more apps would build scripting in. Krita has: https://scripting.krita.org/lessons/introduction while for Inkscape there is: https://inkscape.org/~pakin/%E2%98%85simple-inkscape-scripting. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Happy Earth Day

  All in this challenge was a journey for me, but things I really loved creating the project was understand how to set an encode SVG as background image. For this, I created my ilustrations (industries, trucks, animals, etc.) on Inkscape, I copied the SVG code and encoded using oksel.github.io/url-encoder. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• D2 Playground

  Pikchr https://pikchr.org/home/pikchrshow is the other general purpose one and older than d2. It is "Source-Code License: 0-clause BSD" as it says on the page. Someone made it into wasm and put playground for pikchr here https://www.jakethaw.com/pikchr_webassembly_demo/ Can also try pikchr online here on https://kroki.io/#try which is hosting many other text to diagram tools as well. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Nomnoml

  If you don't mind my asking, what aspects of "acceptable layout" is usually the first to get busted? I'm extremely excited about using WireViz[1] to automate wiring harness diagram creation, and if I can, I'd like to know the speedbumps before I hit them. I'm thinkin generous linking between diagrams will be one path. [1] Project:: https://github.com/wireviz/WireViz [select Diagram>WireViz]. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• LaTeX for publishing tabletop role-playing games

  The SVG output is embedded into the PDF file. https://kroki.io/examples.html#mind-map Kroki has other text-based formats for flow charts, Gantt charts, UML diagrams, packet diagrams, network diagrams, word clouds, etc. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Documentation as Code for Cloud Using PlantUML

  My cross-platform desktop text editor, KeenWrite, allows users to define variables in an external YAML file. The editor calls out to Kroki[1] to convert text-based diagrams to SVG. The diagrams can reference variables and are rendered using EchoSVG[2]. KeenWrite[3] can produce PDF documentation from Markdown documents that has PlantUML diagrams with elements stored in an external, machine-readable file. Here are... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
