After looking for good tools in this space, to create documentation diagrams, I stayed with Draw.io and yEd[1].
The latter has a pretty cool feature that re-arranges all objects according to some predefined layout. Quite neat.

#152I've worked with draw.io (mxGraph) quite a bit over the years. Love it!

If we're delving into paid services, I find Miro to be another incredible product in this space that absolutely nails the UX. My whole design team collaborates on Miro now and we love it. https://miro.com/
I wonder if they knew that name was already in use by an abandoned video player.

#155If you're looking for a fantastic diagramming site, I would recommend checking out [Whimsical]( https://whimsical.com/ ). I've tried out a lot of solutions over the years (draw.io, LucidChart,Gliffy, etc.). Whimsical is the first that really nails the UI/UX. You spend less time fighting the system to make something that looks great and more time just building out your diagram. I'm not associated with the product at a…
(co-founder of Whimsical here) Thanks for the mention! Couple fun facts - Whimsical is written 100% in Clojure and we are self-funded (https://whimsical.com/business/why-bootstrap/).

Love the interface and the fact that it's written in Clojure but it's worth mentioning Whimsical is $10/month vs. draw.io being free forever, and the Whimsical limited intro version is crippled in some quite annoying ways.

#157Anyone have recommendations for a simple text-based flowchart specification format? Something that a human can read and easily understand in plaintext, but can also be rendered as a graphic?
The current solutions we have at my work are extremely difficult to use with VCS.
I've looked at Mermaid [0], but it is pretty limiting in its feature set.
I typically use draw.io/mxGraph [1] when I'm making diagrams and flowcharts, but the XML-based file format is pretty overwhelming for humans to read.
