Thanks! I think by focusing solely on AWS instead of trying to create a generic diagram drawing tool it's possible to create a much better experience.

As one of the original guys making those iso diagrams, we asked internal AWS folks to build a tool like this for years . Nice work!

What did you use for making them? I've been curious about those great looking diagrams for years.

Clicking "pricing" doesn't seem to do anything for me.

It scrolls down to the Pricing section where it says:

"Cloudcraft is entirely free to use! You can use it to create professional AWS visualizations and diagrams for any use, in both commercial and non-commercial projects.

"What you create is yours. We support and encourage you to export to Wikis, documentation, formal RFPs, posters on your team wall..."

FWIW react components are alerting :) "Warning: Failed propType: Invalid prop `value` of type `string` supplied to `DropDownMenu`, expected `object`. Check the render method of `SelectField`."

The app is beautiful. The most important you hit right on target is the perspective. Visually this perspective allows the best understanding.

A word of warning, the UI doesn't work too well on mobile devices yet, it's sized for desktops. I hope to fix this in the near future. Here's an actual screenshot kindly posted by Jeff Barr of what the UI looks like https://twitter.com/jeffbarr/status/674357220847443968

Please don't dump time into making it mobile friendly. Nobody with any sense is trying to diagram their infrastructure from a mobile phone, so you may as well focus on higher value features. Preferably ones you can charge for so I'm not mourning the loss of this great tool in six month's time!
