I have suffered through Gliffy + Confluence for months, so I love seeing new software in this space. This looks very nice, but seems to be missing a lot of important features: boxes to segment networks (a la VPC), directed connections (arrows, filled or not, dashed, etc) and text boxes.<p>I really, really like how good this looks, especially the isometric view. It adds some personality that makes otherwise boring diagrams interesting to look at.<p>Finally, I want to say how awesome it is that you can try out the app without an account and with only one-click. Nothing &quot;sells&quot; your product better than your product, and this website is a textbook example of how this should be executed.

I want tolike this. I hatethe state of infrastructure diagramming, but one of my primary complaints is that I dont like the inability to run the prettier ones locally.I don&#x27;t want to trust enumeration of my system to yet another company.<p>That said, this is quite pretty.

One thing that I would love to see from these diagram tools is to have the different components be aware of which other components can be connected too and how they will interact.<p>I think that will create a set of new features and possibilities for the tools.<p>For example don’t allow an nginx component to be connected to a MySQL server(not sure if it’s possible though, you get the point) or require a load balancer when a browser wants to connect to multiple nodes, etc, that kind of logic.<p>That can then be expanded into having it suggesting architecture patterns or even generating definition files for you.<p>Just an idea

I like my diagrams to have semantic&#x2F;structural meaning and text-based source code, which is why I love ilograph.com.

Super pretty! UX-wise it might be a bit too minimal, you could take some inspiration from <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;excalidraw.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;excalidraw.com&#x2F;</a> (which itself is inspired by many other drawing tools). Concrete example: If you only have 6 &quot;things&quot; to choose from, why not place them directly in the UI, saving one click + menu expansion (similar to the tool bar up top of Excalidraw).

Hey congratulations, I love the ease of use and the aesthetic of this app! A few suggestions to improve quality of life:<p>1. Add hotkeys for each tool<p>2. Make delete actually delete things rather than going &quot;back&quot; in the browser<p>3. Make escape return the user to the &quot;move&quot; tool<p>4. When you use the &quot;add&quot; tool and add something, the menu closes but the tool stays selected at which point clicking it again deselects it rather than reopening the menu<p>5. Don&#x27;t export the &quot;cursor&quot; square when you export the diagram. Perhaps also an export to image rather than svg would be valuable for the kinds of purposes people would use this tool for<p>At the moment the tool looks great and gets the job done, but I find myself hitting a wall in terms of what I can do with it (mainly around those points I&#x27;ve mentioned).

Looks great, congrats on launching! Feature requests:<p>1) make the site mobile friendly<p>2) connect to the cloud backend and automatically import all the services, let me make the connections between them. If it&#x27;s a large scale deployment it would make set up a lot easier

Looks like cloudcraft to me from a few years ago but more general. Still looking for a multi-dimensional &#x2F; multi-planar tool that can let me show the same functional components with different graph coloring and edges. A control &#x2F; management diagram won’t look like a dataflow nor anything similar to how I want to do a network segmentation diagram for auditors and security engineers. Every time I write a new diagram for a different audience it feels like I’m repeating half my work. Heck, I’m not sure if anyone else has this frustration even

Hey! If this is your app first of all congrats.<p>If you fancy a pivot - I’ve seen lots of similar apps for cloud architecture, but this engine would be perfect for logistics (warehousing in particular) which I think is underserved (and the industry I am in!). If this existed for a sensible price I would definitely be a customer!

Love the isometric views. I was actually looking to build a similar diagramming tool (but for a different usecase). Do you mind sharing which libraries&#x2F;tools you&#x27;ve used here?<p>If you&#x27;re looking to productize this in future, best of luck in advance.

This looks very pretty. I guess there’s no option to self-host or run locally? My company wouldn’t allow internal diagrams on a 3rd party cloud service, unfortunately. Especially infra &#x2F; networking, given the security implications...

Aside: Is it just me or these days a lot of web designs have magenta&#x2F;purple themes?

Very pleasant to the eye! Reminds me of <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zachtronics.com&#x2F;exapunks&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zachtronics.com&#x2F;exapunks&#x2F;</a>

Very nice environment. Please add more nodes, probably generic ones too. In addition, I want to be able to add labels to connectors too. Keep up the good work!
jrottalmost 5 years ago
I like this a ton. It&#x27;s much nicer to use then Gliffy or Lucidchart. It does need more options though Boxes and more choices of arrows especially.

It remembered me the BeOS icons! Nice job, btw.

Beautiful aesthetic! Just a note, the front page has my pet peeve typo &quot;it&#x27;s&quot; on it.

Needs ability to import Azure and AWS icons. Also import popular framework logos and icons.

I still use PowerPoint to do these! Will try this next time I am building one.
ashnehetealmost 5 years ago
I liked the idea and the looks of this. The user experience can be better.

Too limited IMO to be useful.
