PlantUMLApp 3.0 - Let's play with AI Multi-Modality
New version 3.0 of my PlantUML App for iPad is out with exciting update! 🤩 The new multi-modality feature now lets you transform hand-drawn diagrams into PlantUML scripts with just a pencil ✍🏻 or your fingers 👆. Take a look 👀 to this short on YouTube and download it from App Store to support me 👍🏻.

What is your favorite tool for designing complex architecture, and why is it MS Paint?
Someone at work showed me https://plantuml.com/ recently. If you want your diagrams as code . Version controlled etc.. I highly recommend it.

Pikchr: A PIC-like markup language for diagrams in technical documentation
Seems like a considerable upgrade from PlanUML (https://plantuml.com/ - which is amazing, but sometimes you just can't seem to be able to align the stuff the way you want too).

Entity Relationship Diagrams
plantuml is amongst the best there is. kroki.io has a sandbox for it mermaid.js can do it in notion, it works as well as any other mermaid. dbvisualizer is fantastic if you have an existing schema in a db instance. you may need the trial license to render the diagrams

Free Alternatives for Enterprise Architect.
I like https://plantuml.com/, because it is text-based and simple, fulfilling my needs in simple diagrams. Plug-ins dir IDEs exist but there is also a web-viewer/editor.

I think it would be much easier to write a parser that generates PlantUML code

ChatCraft Adventures #13, UI Changes
This is an Issue I opened up for a potential feature. A couple weeks ago, I added nomnoml support to ChatCraft. ChatCraft renders previews for Mermaid and Nomnoml.
-
ChatCraft Adventures #10
Currently, ChatCraft supports Mermaid rendering. This feature request involves adding support for nomnoml rendering. Nomnoml is similar to Mermaid, in that they're both used in generating uml diagrams.

Show HN: Marimo – an open-source reactive notebook for Python
Marimo looks and feels great!
Have you considered adding support for mermaid.js in the markdown? I tried including some mermaid.js in a `mo.md` invocation, but it didn't render the diagram :-)

Penrose – Penrose
This feels like the LaTeX version of Mermaid.js [0]. I can do anything with it, but I gotta learn a lot of new syntax. So, really cool! Gonna have to dig into this.

Top 6 tools for text-based UML sequence diagrams
Mermaid is a Javascript-based diagramming tool for rendering many diagram types from Markdown-inspired text definitions and supports sequence diagrams. Mermaid is free and open-source under the MIT license.

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Sequence Diagrams in MermaidJS
I'm one of the maintainers of the mermaid-cli project, and unfortunately, no.
Mermaid needs a browser's layout engine to run properly [1], but I haven't yet seen a library that will help us without puppeteer.
And yep, NPM (or another Node.JS package manager) is still needed for installation. I was working on trying to bundle all of mermaid-cli's dependencies (aka Node.JS, puppeteer) into one massive single-file exe last weekend, but it's seems we're blocked by missing features in other packages [2].
If anyone has any ideas on how to implement these things easily, feel free to help-out :) I'm also not a big fan of puppeteer, so I'd love to see a way to go without it.

How to Write a Great Readme
I like using mermaid diagrams [1] in readme files and docs.
They're easier to read than plain text explanations for architectural layouts/customer journeys but easier to modify than images and GIFs.
Also natively supported in many flavours of markdown like Gitlab.

Creating Better API Architecture Diagrams
UML is just one format for diagram design specifications. Another option is to use a code to diagram tool like Mermaid. Mermaid transforms plain-text (Markdown inspired text definitions in this case) into full-fleshed visual diagrams. Their tool is open-source and written in JavaScript, making it easy to customize if you’re so inclined. Advantages include:
What are some alternatives?
Mermaid - Edit, preview and share mermaid charts/diagrams. New implementation of the live editor.
C4-PlantUML - C4-PlantUML combines the benefits of PlantUML and the C4 model for providing a simple way of describing and communicate software architectures
