Since this went by the HN wayside earlier today I thought I would share it amongst people with thoughts on CSS. I made a very absurd hommage to CSS (the language, itself) over the weekend - https://css-magnetic-poetry.tone-row.co

Hi! I decided to spend the weekend building something fun and without purpose. I wanted to try out Next 13 and I had had this idea floating around for a while. Let me know what you think!

Wrote an article about balancing type-safety with the freedom of working in javascript using JSDoc and VS Code's typescript server. Let me know what you think!

Ah– you must be looking for our Premium tier. We actually offer the Satanic Panic Prose extension heavily discounted.

We've been seeing a lot of AI-driven copywriting tools lately. I'd like to make my contribution to the genre. I built this tool because I post on Reddit pretty often, but I'm not great at composing post titles. I hope this to

I'm guessing push notifications coming to iOS next year[1] will make PWA's even more popular as a development strategy [1] https://www.izooto.com/blog/ios-safari-push-notifications#:~... .

This was up yesterday https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32637689 It's similar in that it's a diagramming DSL

It won't work for every use case but https://flowchart.fun is one open-source alternative

When you say _these things_ you mean the previous syntax and the new syntax? Sorry, I don't understand.

(article author here) There's definitely nothing wrong with Mermaid. In fact, the current syntax at https://flowchart.fun can be converted to Mermaid (in export window) and I'll continue to support that when I migrate

That's sort of what https://flowchart.fun is. Although, it doesn't have as many graph types as PlantUML. Mermaid also has https://mermaid.live/ running in the browser.

It definitely seems like your use-case is more complex than just rendering the diagrams. I think that is very cool. I'd love to see the video if you want to share it (my email is on my hn profile)

I see. That's an interesting idea! I can definitely see how tokenization makes filtering parts of the graph easier.

by tonerow 4y ago
Are tokens different from applying an ID to a node? In this syntax something like --- #token Some Node That is Referenced Often other node A (#token) other node B (#token) other node C other node D (#token)

Noted! After Github added support for Mermaid in markdown, we added an "Export as Mermaid" feature to Flowchart Fun. It's good to know people would be interested in conversion to Graphviz too.

That sounds really cool! When you say query string, am I right in thinking of URL search params? i.e., "?trigger=event1" kind of thing?

That's a good question. I'm less familiar with DOT than I am with Mermaid.js, but in my experience the one benefit an indent-based language has over the declare nodes then declare edges separately pattern (which I'm pretty su

That's very true. On Flowchart Fun we have a bunch of layout algorithms you can choose from, but even then making a great-looking graph usually requires some manually tweaking like you said.

Hey everyone! I stumbled into a syntax for flowcharts and other data/graphs that I think is pretty interesting. I'd love to get peoples feedback on what works/doesn't work and ways to improve it. Thanks!

I've posted flowchart.fun on HN before when it first came out (March 2021). It's changed quite a bit since then, but most recently I also added the flowchart.new domain to make it faster for people to jump into a new chart for bra

https://flowchart.fun doesn't have all the capabilities of UML diagramming for instance, but it is text->diagram conversion with a very simple syntax

Very simple but easy syntax with visual feedback: https://flowchart.fun/
