#52Something interesting to do from now on: Search in Google `site: https://cloudcraft.co/view` You will see the shared links from existing diagrams. Right now Google had just indexed one https://cloudcraft.co/view/d3908616-4d96-4d5c-8747-6856e8801...

#53I like the idea a lot, but I'm not a fan of the fancy 3d visualization. Is there a way to have a simpler (2D) representation?
Re: Show HN: Cloudcraft – Create AWS diagrams
#54This is awesome. Wouldn't it be cool is this were wired up to an orchestration tool like Terraform to visualize TF states? Another level would be container infrastructure. Our new project is Docker/Kubernetes so the AWS infrastructure mostly just vanilla resources. It would be fantastic to have a similar tool for the internals of our micro SOA. Great job!
BTW, I think it's key to stay clear of trying to become an orchestration/deployment tool in itself, but integrating with formats like CloudFormation and Terraform should be doable.

#55A 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!

#56Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thank you, as a non-native English speaker this is extremely valuable feedback. I'll rework the text. One idea is that could literally run a infrastructure diff of your architecture and your live environment, for example after a deployment or between two points in time: You may have resources left over by accident, or not captured in the design.
I like the delta sentence. It is artful. The only reason the intent is unclear is a lack of context. I didn't see anything else on the page that references difs or deltas. I am looking forward to trying cloudcraft on Monday when I have to document a cluster of ec2 instances.

#57Some feedback: "In the delta of your current understanding and the reality of the cloud, lies cost savings and insight." This sentence was a little confusing. Maybe: Cloudcraft make it easy and clear where your could is and where it could go. Something a little simpler and more direct.

#59This solves a real problem, beautifully. Minor complaint. I couldn't find how to restart the tutorial.

#60FWIW 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.
