Ask HN: Guidelines for making clear architecture diagrams
As far as guidelines, I have spent time looking as well an never came away with a good answer. One useful website for comparing some of the best tools is https://text-to-diagram.com/. My personal favorite is D2. Still lacking a few layout features that I want, but it gets me 90% of the way there. The syntax is great for projects big to small, and it strikes the perfect balance between "create a diagram fast" and "feature rich". But in terms of actual guidelines, I would agree with another user that C4 actually tries to lay out some sort of guidelines.

Mermaid Cheat Sheet
I think Mermaid is better than PlantUML to write something quickly.
But D2 looks very promising. I like the simpler and more intuitive syntax.

Yes, it's a limited generator, because it's like 20 lines long and not the point of the article.
