Awesome project! Perhaps a future version could include Google Cloud style diagrams and icons: https://cloud.google.com/icons/

Thanks! Icon support is something I've been thinking about forever... Now could actually be a good time since the app functionality is settling. Thanks for the feedback.

I had a good play with this a few months back. Really really impressive tool!

Hi veuxdo, this is a really cool project! Do you have an open source project for the code? Curious what you built this with and whether I can contribute to the code..

Very cool!

A bit disorienting due to information paralysis, but maybe if I'm the person creating it, or have already used to it, it will be ok.

Suggestion: Don't overuse elevation (material design card). Actually, maybe you can remove the shadows and use standard diagram elements that Visio uses, and/or XKCD style.

Thanks for the heads up, shame I missed that!

It definitely doesn't sound very GDPR compliant. It’s dated before GDPR so clearly needs an update.

Really awesome project! The walkthrough was extremely well put together. This should be used for software architecture presentations and webinars - really helps showcase how everything fits together while minimising the overload of information. Well done! For projects, like any documentation, the only problem with anything like this is how much effort does it take for the diagram to stay up-to-date and relevant in a project with ongoing development.
