I want the opposite. Draw a block diagram on paper, scan it, and get a super swank omnigraffle-style diagram from it (or a top-notch ASCII art diagram).

- teleclimber 9y agoI use the DrawExpress app for exactly that. It's brilliant. http://www.drawexpress.com/ http://www.drawexpress.com/
- jonahx 9y agoFantastic idea. I'd love a web-based version I could use on the laptop.
- thirdsun 9y agoThis looks great. I can't say the same about their website which feels like a mess and really doesn't sell what otherwise seems like a very useful app.
- msravi 9y agoJust bought this now, after watching the video and trying out the "lite" version on Android. It really is brilliant.
- ozzmotik 9y agowow that was actually really cool just watching the demo; if I weren't currently in debt to the app store I'd totally try it
- Mandatum 9y agoCame here wanting this, found it in the comments. OP, it's cool and all - but I'm never going to manually type out box diagrams. I don't write e-zines or NFO's for warez releases.
- kav2k 9y agoCan combo it with http://asciiflow.com/ http://asciiflow.com/
- sankha93 9y agoWhile going the other way is not possible directly, but you can use something like asciiflow.com to make a ASCII diagram easily and paste it in ShakyDraw.
- jamiethompson 9y agoThis is what I came here to say. It's easy to draw freehand. It's painfully slow to draw with ASCII.
- kchr 9y agoYou might wanna take a look at PlantUML or similar http://plantuml.com http://plantuml.com
