I simply just draw in excalidraw and take a ss and past it in my obsidian note, I have a setup that automatically parses posts from my vault and then pushes them to my site
I love diagramming, but I genuinely don't understand how people can use these wonky looking tools. It looks off, I had to make my own[1] to create something that's easy to use and looks good/normal. [1] https://grafly.io
When a background shape is in focus it comes to the foreground covering the shapes that are on top of it.
I have noticed diagrams are most useful early in thinking, but once things get complex they either become outdated or too hard to maintain. Curious how people here deal with that, do you keep diagrams in sync with code, or treat them as disposable?
It’s a lot of work, as starting over is often easier than reviews and edits. Usually the diagrams are slightly out of date, but good enough to satisfy whoever is looking at it.
I wish I had a better solution. Now I’m wondering I could write something that walks the code for me.

I use Excalidraw extensively at work. For me, it's really close to perfection. It has an excellent UI, selections work way better than Lucid or Figma etc, the sketchy look makes it clear designs are rough and not blueprints, it's private and loads instantly. The one negative is that it's a pain to get the multiplayer self-hosted version running.
Excalidraw is excellent for low-friction sketches.

I like the wonky, hand-drawn looking style. I think it fits well beause usually if I use a diagram it's not 100% precise and accurate, but more a high-level illustration. The wonky style conveys the approximate precision of the presented concept. Also, and that's personal, I think it's cute.

I want to write a blog whose posts will be all about the technical details of how the blog works.
Author here: Haha - yeah that is kind of meta - i know. Other content will be more about the acutual problems i solve. Check out https://blog.lysk.tech/sqlite-on-git-prologue ;-)
