Nice I like the scruffy mode, something about it captures the eye more than a clean cut shape you can put together on PowerPoint.

#42How about diagrams that you can embed in your markdown documentation? Proper ascii drawings: http://asciiflow.com
Or even put into the comments section of your code... great tool!
Re: YUML – Easy Embeddable Diagrams
#43Anyone familiar with PlantUML[1]? That's been my goto for declarative text-based diagramming. I've always thought "there really could be a better tool," but I've never found anything better than PlantUML. I don't think YUML is going to be my answer, though -- it's paid and doesn't seem to be a local tool, but rather a SaaS model. This product feels like it should be a local compile-into-image workflow. But that's pro…
This isn't something I spend a lot of time on. I settled on Dia long ago and it works fine for my purposes.

I also like Plantuml, but it does not do that good a job with statecharts.

Monodraw is a great Mac app for creating them https://monodraw.helftone.com/

yUML creator here. Think I know what you're saying. That said, there are many people using a command line wrapper to generate yUML diagrams as part of an automated workflow. The paid features are more for people who want better management of diagrams.
Thank you for this awesome tool! I use YUML all the time to embed diagrams in to markdown documents on GitHub. I use PlantUML sometimes too, but I love that YUML has no compilation step and the "source"of the diagram is in the link and legible to humans.
I wish I could use YUML to make flow charts!

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
Don't buy a Mac then. Apple managed to break the build on the latest version.
It's broken frequently over the years. It's a command line tool so someone interested enough can package it up as a docker container and provide a simple wrapper script that would mostly work in-place.
But then you’d need install Docker to generate graphs, which is kind of overkill compared to just fixing the build

Do you have any idea on how to use PlantUML with LaTeX files? I've only found some workaround scripts that make it pretty ugly to begin with. I'm using Overleaf so I doubt it'll add the functionality, but it'd be neat.

No idea about raw LaTeX, but with Org you can just include it as a source block, and Babel will automatically compile it for you when you do a LaTeX export.
