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.

I'm thinking something like a lucidchart.com set up, but also wondering since one project is complete if there is anything that can just analyze an existing codebase and automatically do the work for me. Source: over 3 years ago
Oh! excalidraw.com is great for quick paper style diagrams. I have used it a fair bit. The roam integration is good. But I always revert back to draw.io because it's open sourced, simple to use and just works :D If you are looking for more, a paid option would be lucidchart.com. Source: over 3 years ago
You could try lucidchart.com or draw.io. I have used both. Source: about 4 years ago
Otherwise, you may be thinking about a "mind-map" of sorts... Simply to show relationships? Diagrams.net, lucidchart.com. Source: about 4 years ago
What is difference between Yours tool and others like arcentry.com lucidchart.com cloudcraft.co hava.io ? Would be nice to support diagrams as code ( generated from kubernetes states, terraform, pulumi, etc..) Personally I dont think that another diagram tool can beat ^ platforms.

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 2 months 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 1 year ago
