I can’t get behind stuff like this. It just doesn’t seem easier to use than something like Whimsical or even Visio.
Who is the audience? People who want to draw but are afraid to use a mouse? Or can this be automated? But who really automates their documentation?
Dunno… just seems like a lot of work to avoid drawing a drawing.
- nicbou 3y agoThe plain text representation can be embedded into documentation and tracked by source control. A change to the diagram is a change to the content, not a separate workflow that requires storing the originals somewhere. Updates don't require any third party software. This fits well into a CMS or static site generator workflow.

Even if it doesn't work for you, it may well work for them. (Personally, I like the directness of tools like Visio, but they very much work at the surface of a visual diagram. It can be useful to express things textually.)
