  • plantuml

    Generate diagrams from textual description

  • I do fancy https://plantuml.com/ in combination with a few yankpad snippets with basic structure/elements to start from.

  • C4-PlantUML

    C4-PlantUML combines the benefits of PlantUML and the C4 model for providing a simple way of describing and communicate software architectures

  • Yes. I use this all the time for software diagramming. With c4 model (https://github.com/plantuml-stdlib/C4-PlantUML) and AWS icons (https://github.com/awslabs/aws-icons-for-plantuml)

  • aws-icons-for-plantuml

    PlantUML sprites, macros, and other includes for Amazon Web Services services and resources

  • xournalpp

    Xournal++ is a handwriting notetaking software with PDF annotation support. Written in C++ with GTK3, supporting Linux (e.g. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, SUSE), macOS and Windows 10. Supports pen input from devices such as Wacom Tablets.

  • There are a few other note taking tools that do not have emacs integration yet, Rnote is pretty good. I even made a pretty similar tool myself (with infinite canvas) but was never quite satisfied with the result. Good news is that xournalpp does have infinite canvas in the works: https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/issues/1174

  • By Xournalpp-mode do you mean org-xournalpp? I was not able to find a package named Xournalpp-mode.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
