Architecture diagrams should be code
This is perhaps a tangent, but I've used https://asciiflow.com/#/ a few times now to insert diagrams into my source code as comments. I understand people might have negative opinions on the efficacy of comments that this would only exacerbate, but nevertheless I've appreciated what AsciiFlow gave me.

Static site hosting hurdles
Strange that a pretty common way to serve static sites is not mentioned: Multi-stage Docker builds [e.g. 1] an nginx-alpine image in Gitlab CI, that is automatically deployed to Kubernetes/a Docker host somewhere.

Monodraw – a non-subscription, powerful ASCII art editor
I like the idea of ASCII diagram editors but... Mac only and doesn't actually use ASCII as it's format? However shiny it's interface may be that seems to defeat the purpose of the portability you are supposed to get.
I've been using https://asciiflow.com/#/ to make and edit simple diagrams, it's fairly basic but sufficient for 90% of what I want so far.

Show HN: Typograms, Markdown-like renderer for ASCII diagrams
Could have something a little more usable if you pasted into a tool like https://asciiflow.com/ and then copied your edits back into source.
Or an editor plugin with something like the automatic table formatting you get with emacs org-mode.

Include diagrams in your Markdown files with Mermaid
This is interesting, but I personally really like that markdown is almost as legible as plain text as when rendered, which things like this sort of break.
So I think I'd prefer ASCII art diagrams for this sort of thing. (In fact there was recently an ASCII diagram drawing tool on the front page, https://asciiflow.com/ )

What is the best note-taking app?
I usually use first pen an paper, then make them digital with markdown (e.g. with obsidian or others although I don't use them) and for images it depends. Something needs to get sketched and drawn quickly? Then I use https://excalidraw.com/. Do I need to draw some graphs or so? https://app.diagrams.net/
