Oh don't get me wrong, comparisons are good. This is not a comparison though, it's a redirection, and this is very rude.

- pydry 6y agoIt seems more like a comparison to me, although not a very objective one.
- adverbly 6y agoI disagree. Either the OP shared because they found a useful tool and wanted others to be able to know too, in which case sharing another related tool is in the spirit of what OP intended. Or, OP wanted to use HN as a sales platform to pitch their work. In this case, sorry pal but HN is not your personal marketing megaphone. You want to put something out into the public here, you should expect it to be scrutinized and compared against alternatives. IMO, HN as a platform should put readers first, not authors. Edit: Just want to add that in this particular case, I think both the draw.io and graph viz plugins are awesome. Love to see these kinds of tools.
- Terretta 6y agoOn the contrary, if you are looking for ‘diagrams as code’ you likely don’t mean postscript, SVG, or XML of arbitrary lines and shapes. You likely mean something structured and readable, like ‘literate diagramming’. The top comment’s first phrase explained that rationale.
- dependenttypes 6y agoWhat is rude in this thread is your attempt to deny relevant information from these interested in diagram tools. When I open threads like these I am mostly interested in: - Interesting features that this tool has - Experiences from the developers of this and similar tools - Alternatives as well as their pros/cons Meanwhile you want to deny that experience from me in order to not hurt something as irrelevant as the OPs pride.
