Hi. Im Frank, creator of swimlanes.io, would love to get some feedback!

Great tool, I use it often.

I like that it is online. Often, when you need a quick sketch for your presentation or colleges, you don't want to open a desktop tool (you might not even have).

I would appreciate drag-able interface on the right (I know it is hard but it would definitely be a plus).

Connect a git repo or gist would be also nice.

I've also seen integrations to Google Drive where you can store it as a document.

Do you have any further plans with this tool? Cover more UML diagrams and so.

Looks useful, i think i'll use it. Any chance of SVG export?

Happy to hear. No plans for SVG export. Have not found any good HTML to SVG tool. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the feedback! Diagram is not drag-able but support inline editing with double click. Google Drive integration is in the works. Gitbook plugin available: https://plugins.gitbook.com/plugin/swimlanes-io. Had the initial ambition to support flowcharts but want to ace sequence diagrams first
