   Thanks. Good point. Some time back, I've received a similar feature request for deployment scripts to diagram conversion (and vice versa). However: - A very, very small fraction of CloudSkew users have actually requested this feature (

   Thanks. Clicking on the 'user preferences & settings' icon (on the left-hand bar) will take you to the same location. But yes, I agree that the UX could definitely be improved here. Regarding the aspect ratio, I already have a

   Click on 'add/remove icons' link at the bottom left on the page. Then choose 'AWS'. The aws icons should appear in the icon palette.

    Unfortunately, from what I've heard, that product is being discontinued for business reasons: https://arcentry.com/discontinuation-letter/ Which is a shame because the product screenshots look pretty impressive! I

    Good points. Will add this to my backlog. PS: The search box (on top of the icon palette) should make things a bit easier. For some icons, it can even search with synonyms (e.g. search for 'nosql' will show 'mongodb'). H

    Thanks. 1. Does your team/org maintain a central diagram repository? Or do team members use their diagram tool of choice and then export diagram into a central doc library (e.g. github markdown)? 2. The short-term plan is to add more d

    LOL. Good questions. 1. Haven't found the time to fill in the privacy-policy, terms-of-usage pages. Been swamped with feature work. 2. No, you'll never get ANY emails from us. 3. Product is free for individual users. However, ther

    Good question. While there are many tools for sketching flowcharts, mind-maps, UML diagrams etc, cloudskew has cloud architecture diagrams as its sole focus. Also planning your cloud architecture requires several round-trips between your dr

    Aha, good observation. I actually disabled snap-to-grid a couple of weeks ago (was making the mouse drag sluggish for some reason). Probably a bug on my end, need to investigate further and fix.
