I actually made a small tool for making systems diagrams as a side project. However, it was extremely basic. Fun project though: https://msgviz.com https://msgv

- rg111 5y agoWow, that's a nice project!
- makach 5y agothat is impressive. just casually dropping such an awesome solution, I tip my hat to you sir.
- criddell 5y agoWhy doesn’t google find this when you search for “animate 2d diagram”? Is it because nobody links to it?
- is0tope 5y agoI made it to try and learn d3 and typescript in general. I posted it as a "Show HN" but it got no clicks so I sort of just let it sit there. To be honest, when I saw how good most online drawing tools were, and how basic and amateur level my tool was I got demotivated and decided to leave it as is.
- tedmcory77 5y agoA few things; 1. There's no good onpage stuff to tell google that this is an appropriate word for it. 2. Based on page speed probably wouldn't rank well compared to others 3. As you noted, links.
- criddell 5y agoMakes me wonder how many other cool projects out there never get discovered because they can’t get by the search engine gate?
- is0tope 5y agoThis is a good point. I have been wondering how does one do SEO for such online tools? If you only have the tool present, it will be definition not have much text content which Google uses to gain context for the site.
- password4321 5y agoWrite blog posts about it, every angle you can think of. Development, marketing, building a side project, whatever...
- bobe__ 5y agoVery nice and useful!
- AntonioCao 5y agoThis is super impressive, would definitely pay for it if more polished. Maybe integrate with tldraw? Anyways, amazing job.
- is0tope 5y agoThank you for the kind words! I might see if I can clean it up and at least get an export to gig feature working.
- pimlottc 5y agoReally neat! It would be great the sample diagrams on the homepage linked to editable version so you could play with a completed diagram.
- aaserviceshyd 5y agoIs there a way to add custom objects if we want different objects for the flows to be created.
