   IPE has close LaTeX integration

   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?

   🏁 Competitors: Airtable, PGF and TikZ, LaTeXDraw

   👍 Pros:    Produces multipage documents|Possible to include latex style files and includes|Live rendering of latex blocks, not just math|Very easy to add stepwise revelations|Comes with a presenter that understands notes|Produced pdf can be easily included in latex documents|Completely free and open source

   👎 Cons:    May be difficult to figure some things right out of the box

• From SVG to Canvas – A new way of building interactions

  i'm building a diagramming tool (https://terrastruct.com) and still umm and ah b/t it. I'm kind of waiting for webgpu to reach 95+% browser support before switching though. If I do all the work of switching, SVG better not get gpu/hardware-acceleration support the next day. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Visualizing software designs, especially of large systems (if at all)?

  I'm a big fan of Terrastruct (https://terrastruct.com/). They focus on building great software for visualizing complex software architecture. Their secret sauce is this idea of attention where they allow you to zoom in and out so you can get the 10 foot view or 10,000 foot view, whatever you find most useful. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
