Ask HN: Guidelines for making clear architecture diagrams
Third this. Don't look any further, just do it!
Also, PlantUML + C4 is like peanut butter & jelly:
https://github.com/plantuml-stdlib/C4-PlantUML
I'll gladly give up control of layout, and accept some ugliness, to never again have to worry about dragging boxes and arrows to be pixel-aligned, and then do it all over again when I add another box...
It looks like Mermaid has C4 support too:

Which tools do you use to create diagrams?
PlantUML + C4 plugin;
-
Add quick sketches in emacs org mode
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)

Architecture diagrams should be code
The C4 model (https://c4model.com/) is great for architecture diagrams. You can use different tools to generate them. Here are the ones I've been using:
- https://github.com/plantuml-stdlib/C4-PlantUML
- D2 language, open source alternative to PlantUML
- Keep your diagrams updated with continuous delivery
- What FOSS programs would you recommend for creating concept maps on Linux?

Ask HN: Confluence Alternative(s) Supporting Markdown?
> onboarding docs
yes, they're don't changing frequently
> system design docs
yes - see C4-PlantUML[1]
> meeting notes
no, unless they're directly code related like ADRs [2,3].
Although one can abuse Github Issues + comments for this, in my opinion it's better to use modern SaaS tools for this, i.e. Loom, Descript, Linear.app, etc. - you can automate this process, e.g. transcribe the meeting's recording and add the issue/repo using Github Actions.
