Ask HN: What diagrams do you use in software development?
Flow chart, sequence and class diagrams are the ones I use the most in my current job.
In source, I generally use Mermaid[1] as its syntax is easily maintainable and understandable. As our documentation (mdBook) is written in markdown and can render Mermaid via a plugin[2].
When drawing quick diagrams during online communications, I use Excalidraw[3] as it's easy to use and has a nice whiteboard style to it. When I'm with my team (pre-covid), whiteboard or paper did the trick.

Ask HN: What diagrams do you use in software development?
Markdeep[0] from Casual Effects has a way of drawing diagrams using extended markdown.
I used it to write this document with two diagrams: https://loan-free-ed.neocities.org
Other tool I like are PlanetUML[1], BoUML[2] and Modellio[3](it is very heavy though on system resources!)
