    In the past I've used declarative diagram generation tools like Mermaid.js a lot for quickly drawing up things but for presentations or deliverables I find that I have to then move the generated diagrams over to a tool like Lucidchart which allows full control of the organization and customization. Therefore I am now working on this to combine the benefits of both into just one tool which can do both functions. The project is certainly in the early stages but if you find yourself making architecture diagrams I'd love to hear your thoughts on the idea or even a Github issue for a feature…

    Hi HN! I couldn’t find a truly user-friendly PlantUML editor, so I set out to build one. PlantDiagrams lets you describe a diagram in plain English; it generates the PlantUML and renders it instantly. The goal is to shorten the path from idea → diagram without fighting the editor. Tech: - Next.js / Supabase / FLy.io / Vercel Highlights - Natural-language to PlantUML with live preview - Export diagrams (SVG/PNG/TXT) - Organize work with Projects - Share via link; optional comments for review - Sample gallery to open and tweak examples Try it:…

    Line9 is a new rendering engine for Mermaid flowchart diagrams that aims to remove the need for manual adjustment of layout. Mermaid is a popular text-based language for describing multiple types of diagrams. Several Mermaid rendering engines already exist. Most, like the original mermaid.js, use Dagre or ELK graph drawing libraries to automatically lay out their diagrams. I’ve used Mermaid for the past four years but often recreated my flowcharts in a diagram editor so that I could modify the layout to something that better suited my needs. Use Line9 when you want an automatic flowchart…

    Hey HN, I built this tool because my personal diagramming workflow was broken, and I wanted to automate it. When creating diagrams, I have two conflicting needs. For logic and structure, I prefer Mermaid.js here. It’s deterministic, version-controllable, and lets me tweak the logic easily until it matches exactly what’s in my head. For aesthetics, I need the final result to look like a high-end infographic for presentations, which Mermaid (and standard tools) are bad at. Before Nanobanana Pro came out, AI image generation cannot generate good visual presentation for diagrams because it…
