• Architecture diagrams enable better conversations

  And then you can perform further edits using something like https://asciiflow.com/ (web, free) or https://ivanceras.github.io/bob-editor/ (web, free) or https://monodraw.helftone.com/ (Mac only, proprietary) as mentioned in other comments from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37040883. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Typograms: A definition and renderer for ASCII diagrams

  Typograms could be great with the monodraw app on macOS. I'm a very happy customer of monodraw-- not affiliated in any way. https://monodraw.helftone.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Marp: Markdown Presentation Ecosystem

  Admittedly, creating that asciiart by hand is obnoxious, but tools like monodrow https://monodraw.helftone.com/ make it easy. However, then we're right back at the question of why bother using markdown if you're making complicated graphics in another tool anyway. I love Monodraw and use it for many things (it can create svg and png and other formats not just ascii) but yeah, it doesn't seem like a great solution... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Architecture diagrams should be code

  I’ve been using MonoDraw https://monodraw.helftone.com/ for this exact sort of stuff for years, was one of the main reasons I bought the program actually. A good diagram in a block comment right above or below done complicated code is a ready powerful way to make sure you’re going to be able to maintain that code in the future. I find flowchart style diagrams for finite state machines and UML(ish) sequence... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Monodraw – a non-subscription, powerful ASCII art editor

  The given URL is about what's new in 1.6 and mostly boils down to: * "app icon, document icon and welcome window", * "ability to simultaneously edit multiple shapes of the same type", * "minimum OS requirement has been raised to macOS 11 Big Sur". For an overview of the software, see this URL: https://monodraw.helftone.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years 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
