Awesome tool! Also, for the web version, my friend made an alternative written in Kotlin https://github.com/tuanchauict/MonoSketch
I also have a half baked version in Rust too https://github.com/huytd/ascii-d

It's strange how both of those statements are incorrect... open-sourcing a project allows for contributors to pick up some of the workload and certain licenses would prevent clones from being sold to unsuspecting customers

a license doesn't magically stop bad things from happening.

#15what's the native linux alternative? aka not a webapp edit: hm, maybe https://github.com/nkh/P5-App-Asciio
One way would be to use emacs’ artist-mode to draw ascii lines and boxes then use ditaa[1] to transform them into images. It’s not a pretty packaged GUI app but it’s certainly an option

Developer of Monodraw here.
Thank you all for the kind words regarding the app.
Unfortunately, my time is extremely limited which is why I haven’t had the chance to push more updates out.
I’ve got a few highly requested features in the works but I cannot promise when they’ll see the light of day (I usually get to make progress during my holidays).
I’m still committed to fixing any breakages due to OS upgrades and ensuring the product continues to work.
Re: Monodraw
#18Funny.
The front page (still) states:
"We're a small studio that loves to make delightful apps. We just launched Monodraw."
The blog says:
Maintenance Mode With immediate effect, Monodraw is entering maintenance mode. This means that there will be no more updates in the future. While I'll be aiming to provide OS compatibility updates, if required, those are not guaranteed. Accordingly, the price has been reduced from $19.99 to $9.99.
Why?
Monodraw was released in May 2015, about three and a half years ago. Unfortunately, it did not achieve commercial success and it meant I had to get a job. In the years that followed, I could only work on Monodraw in my spare time. Due to recent changes in my life, I can no longer devote any meaningful time to the app. ""

So you used an ASCII drawing tool to draw these diagrams in text then took a screenshot of them and uploaded to your website? That seems like such a convoluted way to draw a few rectangles. Isn't there an easier way?
