drawio-desktop VS masterplan

For anyone who is willing to use a webapp, I like drawio[0]. You can download locally[1] and self host (I just use the python webserver).

While finding the Github, I see they now actually package an Electron application, so that is probably worth exploring[2].

You can also get it for desktop. It's the same web app but I like to have it installed.

I like excalidraw for live discussions but if I want to make more detailed or better looking diagrams, I really enjoy these two tools:

- For drag-and-drop/WYSIWYG, I really like DrawIO. They have a web version https://app.diagrams.net/ but I strongly recommend the desktop version https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/

- For text-as-diagram, I think Mermaid wins this by default since GitHub added markdown support for these: https://mermaid.live/ (This was github's announcement https://github.blog/2022-02-14-include-diagrams-markdown-fil... )

Protip: get draw.io if you want to edit that file. Or just use the online https://www.drawio.com/ (previously diagram.net?)

LibreOffice Writer with Drawio-desktop (and Inkscape if it needs complex editing), if LibreOffice Writer is not enough you can try Scribus.

This is hard to understand. Can you make a diagram of your network, or a flowchart? I use this software https://www.diagrams.net/

Gibt es auch als Desktop App.

Perhaps diagrams.net (click 'more shapes' to add the electrical symbols). There is also yEd. It has logic gates, but I don't know if it has electrical components. Of course KiCAD is specifically designed for circuits, but that might not fit your application.

I use this software: https://www.diagrams.net/

But to answer your question (which was probably the main point and you already knew the above, and if i was smart enough I would have thought of that before writing this), MasterPlan is a cool project i found, but nothing big.

I use MasterPlan to create a design document that doubles as a task board: https://solarlune.itch.io/masterplan Every Monday I go through my tasks and assign a due date to the tasks I'd like to complete in the next week.

So then don't drink the kool-aid and use an open source alternative...

MasterPlan can be built from source for free, similar to Aseprite.

MasterPlan is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux, both on itch.io and Steam.

MasterPlan is currently available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It's available to build for free over on my Github repository (though prebuilt binaries are available over on Steam and itch, and it's on sale this week as well). If you do purchase it, it would help fund development; otherwise, please do feel free to build it, try it out, and see if it fits your needs.
