Funny. 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…
I love this tool! I've used it to do diagrams for Mapless: https://sebastianconcept.github.io/Mapless/guides/2024/01/28... And to document this Pharo VM Plugin builder setup: https://github.com/sebastianconcept/PharoPluginBuilder
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?

I haven’t updated the official website (priorities and lack of free time).
I’ve pushed out some updates after the maintenance mode announcement but the frequency is not guaranteed since my free time is extremely limited.
I’m still committed to fixing any breakages due to OS upgrades and ensuring the product continues to work.
While I have some new features in the pipeline, I cannot commit to any timelines as I don’t know when I will ship them.
I want to thank everyone who’s supported the product throughout the years, it means a lot to me.
Happy to answer any further questions.
This went into "maintenance mode" in 2018, has anything changed? https://blog.helftone.com/monodraw-maintenance-mode/
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 ens…
It’s great as it is and we’ll be happy to see new features when you’re ready. I would be really proud if I were in your position.
Cheers!

And thanks to being proprietary, no one else can devote time to it, either.

- I believe in a strong, centralised product vision and execution - The code will be packaged up and sold by unscrupulous people who will not contribute back
I’m a strong advocate of interoperability and open data formats. The Monodraw data format is not proprietary and I do have plans for a plain text format (currently, it’s just zipped JSON which doesn’t play nice with VCS).
Interoperability is key to competition and avoiding lock-in, so I’ll push in that direction as my time permits.
I love this tool. This is one of those that you buy it and keep it, even if you use it once a while.
Have you had this for a long time, or are you speculating that it’s the type of software you like? This looks very cool to me, though. If you have used it, can you share how you’ve used the generated diagrams? I can imagine a screenshot of the diagram, but the raw text would probably be too big in (e.g. a terminal).
