I’ve been looking for exactly this for some time - thank you for creating it!

Maybe consider making a VScode extension out of it; you could then have it generate actual class files from the drawing.

This is something VSCode lacks that big brother Visual Studio has had forever (cd designer).

I think a VSCode extension would be pretty cool. I'll have to checkout out cd designer, seems interesting. Thanks for the feedback and glad you liked the tool!

Does anyone have any information on the tool pricing? It doesn't appear to let you take a gander at any pricing information before logging in to use the tool.

The tool is free for individuals and will remain free after the beta. Pricing would be for team usage (currently early access) and is still tbd. Early access teams will receive a discount.

I'd think a tool "tailor-made for Software Engineers" would use a human readable text format that can be stored in a VCS repository along side the other documentation. It could work if the GUI outputs a simple text file, but this looks like it'd output an image.

Check out mermaid [0] for plain text diagramming that's easily version controlled.

It's also natively rendered in obsidian [1] without any plugins.

Not affiliated, just very happy with this plain text and local workflow.

This looks amazing! Thank you :) Is there a way to request more icons to be added or a way to add custom icons? This is the probably the one thing that stops me from replacing draw.io with this!

Glad you liked it! Hoping to add a request icon form in the app soon and custom icons down the line. In the mean time, feel free to email support[at]onemodel.app with the list and I will add them asap.

It's a bit buggy.. sometimes when I dropped an icon in, it would disappear while I was typing to filter.

Looks good though and I will try again on a non-FF browser in work. Where do the files get saved? One of the best things about draw.io is that it just works off local files.
