I use the standalone version of this https://www.websequencediagrams.com/ and I love it. Simple to use, different formats, I can map complex stuff into a easy peasy picture.
Highly recommended.

Draw.io is amazing. Thank you for the work you put in it.

#53I was trying to make Graphviz produce all these types of charts using a Markdown DSL for version-control purposes, but like some said, it's kludgy. I'm mostly interested in a tool that can produce Flowchart, Sequence, Gantt, Dataflow, Class and Database diagrams using nothing but a CLI. I'd appreciate any recommendations.
Sequence: mscgen
Gantt: ?
Flowchart, dataflow, class, database: graphviz (eg. https://github.com/globalcitizen/mysqlviz)
Re: Mermaid: Generate Diagrams and Flowcharts with Markdown Like Syntax
#54I was quite excited by this - I normally use mscgen ( http://www.mcternan.me.uk/mscgen/ ). Unfortunately, I can't find a way to break text strings onto multiple lines in ladder diagrams. Does anyone know how? One of the examples shows tags within a Note. The is stripped out and the text is wrapped onto multiple lines within the note box, but the wrapping is completely independent of the tags. ...and this doesn't work…
Use '\n' for line breaks, like so: a => b [label="POST /echo\nHello, it's me"]; (You might like https://mscgen.js.org b.t.w.)
Sorry, I meant I couldn't find a way to do the same thing as that in Mermaid - I realize my message wasn't very clear, but thanks for replying!

The rack diagram is pretty nifty. Too bad it doesn't have my Sun Fire T2000 in it, though :(
