svgbobrus VS diagrams

I recently had to draw some diagrams for documenting something. After looking at various Markdown-friendly options I landed on svgbob[1]. I believe it's a superior solution to these kinds of graph drawing tools for Markdown for one specific reason: the code is still readable. When I go to look at a Markdown file I don't always open the output. I will commonly open up a README file in Vim or just cat it to the terminal. In this case diagrams like those in this post is next to useless. I'm not going to read through some complex drawing definitions and try to visualise the results. With svgbob (or Typograms[2] or any of the other similar options) you can still read the Markdown text document and see the diagrams which is great!

Of course this comes with a tradeoff, drawing the diagrams can be a bit of a pain. But I believe this can be solved by a good Markdown editor or editor plugin. Alternatively a spec like this could be converted into an svgbob-compatible diagram.

Online playground svgbob-editor is also updated to use the latest version of svgbob. It is however a painfully slow to edit the diagrams from there, so it's better if you draw the diagram somwhere else and paste it to there.

There’s Svgbob. Plus when it comes to more complex diagrams or graphs where creating the ASCII art by hand in can be quite finicky, there’s a number of tools (including drawing tools) to make creating ASCII art much easier.

Since the post contains ASCII art, let me recommend you svgbob :)

The app can now render Svgbob code blocks (https://ivanceras.github.io/svgbob-editor).

diagrams - Diagram as Code.

Mingrammer is an intriguing tool for individuals who prefer coding diagrams rather than creating them through graphical interfaces. It operates using Python code and offers a relatively quick setup process. It is compatible with AWS, Azure, GCP, Alibaba, and Oracle. Notably, the project is open source and has garnered significant attention on GitHub with over 31K stars.

That’s another option: https://diagrams.mingrammer.com Guessing with IaC done with Pulumi (Python) and this, it could pretty powerful and automatically generated.

Diagrams allow you to draw cloud system architectures using Python code.

I use excalidraw a lot for short conversations. If I have to go into major detail I use diagrams https://diagrams.mingrammer.com
