Textik VS Monodraw

Thanks for this list. I find all of them are missing features that I would want for diagrams I hand made recently. Of the ones on this list only one seems to handle diagonals ( https://textik.com/ ) and that doesn't have a fill function AFAIK The diagram I wanted to draw would be something like this https://pastebin.com/NPXFS1Fi I created the box and triangle in textik.com but I had to manually edit a bunch of... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

I maintain a list [1] of main web based text to diagram tools including ascii drawing tools like these. Web alternatives for this are probably https://fsymbols.com/draw/ or https://textik.com/ or https://asciiflow.com/#/ or https://web.archive.org/web/20210503172024/https://fatiherikli.github.io/archetype/ or https://app.monosketch.io [1]: https://xosh.org/text-to-diagram/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

Not OP, but I came across these very nice tools for drawing in ASCII https://textik.com and https://asciiflow.com. Source: almost 2 years ago

It does, but that selects and moves the cells not the objects and then redraws the cells? Actually, going back to have a play I see that it does allow some modification of existing objects but it isn't terribly flexible. I've just done a quick search and found one that I've not spotted before, which is a bit closer to what I want in that one respect, but not nearly complete overall (and not seen a check-in in 8... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

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 / 10 months ago

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

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

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".
