Ask HN: What do you use to draw out systems/architectures before building?

2 pointsby kisamotoalmost 4 years ago
Okay this isn&#x27;t for everyone but what do people recommend for drawing out systems (from databases to architecture) and technical decisions before starting a project.<p>Currently I use pen &amp; paper to start but this inevitably gets lost and becomes a pain to update as I change things. I&#x27;m also aware that for projects involving more than one person this isn&#x27;t ideal.<p>JIRA&#x2F;Confluence was the go-to at work with some draw.io diagrams&#x2F;plugins and custom vector graphics from Inkscape&#x2F;Sketch&#x2F;Affinity.<p>What do you do and what do you recommend?
