For that use-case a markup graph language is a poor solution. Use https://asciiflow.com instead to produce something that people can digest without needing a third-party tool that may not even exist anymore.

Many diagrams I am able to draw manually as I'm editing source code on emacs, but for more complicated ones I tend to use this: https://asciiflow.com . To each their own, so pick your favorite ASCII editor.

This isn't at all what you are asking for but I use it in code all the time for flow-charting logic. https://asciiflow.com/ And on the plus side, the output is very portable.

Combination of: - http://maaslalani.com/slides/ - for slides - figlet/toilet/cowsay/lolcat - for generating titles and ascii art - https://github.com/lewish/asciiflow - for charts and diagrams

So I used this website: https://asciiflow.com to draw out the diagrams and then pasted them into the LCDs using the monospace font! An LCD is 39x58 "ASCII tiles" FYI if you wanted to do this too!

AsciiFlow

Monica is a Personal Relationship Management (PRM) web application developed on PHP by Monicahq. The main aim of this project is to help individuals to organize and record their interactions with others. It works as a CRM tailored for managing relationships with friends and family. The Monica project is designed for individuals who struggle to remember important details about the lives of people they care about, including those with conditions, like Asperger syndrome or Alzheimer’s disease. It provides a private and personal space for users to keep track of essential information about their friends and family.

I've created some OSS projects, one of them being Monica [1], an open source CRM which pops up sometimes on HN. The project has more than 20k+ stars and a lot of contributors. I've also created other projects (OfficeLife [2], Bivouac [3]).

However, all these are passion projects, worked on at nights and weekends. My day job is about project management (currently a very senior position) at various big corps.

I would like to switch careers and become a professional full stack developer. I can't choose between backend and frontend since I've done everything on my projects. I only know Laravel, Vue 3, HTMX. I have to deploy my projects myself, maintain them myself, and design everything myself.

I'm not an expert in anything, but I know a bit of everything that is required to ship something that works.

That being said, what are the chances of being hired as a professional developer? Will I be taken seriously?

I've been using Monica [1] for the personal CRM and it does what it is supposed to do. It's a basic web app and lacks the sophistication moderns apps have, but it hasn't died for 5 years at least. Just FYI.

I am looking for some kind of cli/tui app that has similar functionality as Monica.

My wife and I tried to use Monica for many months in the past but had to give up because of the incredibly buggy CardDAV implementation when using iOS. Now that this has come out it seems the issue (https://github.com/monicahq/monica/issues/6175) was ignored likely because of all this work.

Have improvements been made with this in the new version?

That does remind me of this project: https://github.com/monicahq/monica
