I like excalidraw for live discussions but if I want to make more detailed or better looking diagrams, I really enjoy these two tools:
- For drag-and-drop/WYSIWYG, I really like DrawIO. They have a web version https://app.diagrams.net/ https://app.diagrams.net/ but I strongly recommend the desktop version https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/ https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/
- For text-as-diagram, I think Mermaid wins this by default since GitHub added markdown support for these: https://mermaid.live/ https://mermaid.live/ (This was github's announcement https://github.blog/2022-02-14-include-diagrams-markdown-files-mermaid/ https://github.blog/2022-02-14-include-diagrams-markdown-fil... )
- dilawar 3y agokroki.io maintains a collection of text to image tool. niolesk is a great frontend for kroki. Love plantuml as my goto for diagram-aa-code.Yesterday I learnt about d2lang. It looks better as a language. Nothing beats TiKZ when it comes to look of diagram.
- IshKebab 3y agoI agree. Excalidraw is good for very rough sketches and live drawing, but Draw.io is better for basically everything else.
