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'm Zach, one of the co-founders of Adam (https://adam.new). We've been on HN twice before with text-to-CAD/3D experiments [1][2]. The honest takeaway from those threads: prompt-to-3D model web apps are fun, but serious mechanical engineers don't want a black box that spits out an STL. They want help inside the CAD tool they already use, with full visibility and control over the feature tree. So we built that. Adam is now a harness that integrates directly with your CAD. It reads your parts, understands the existing feature tree, and edits it for you agentically. We are…

Hi everyone started this project a year ago to generate the CAD for a Jet Engine Axial Compressor. I am now open sourcing this tool that can take in a JSON file with specs and generate the CAD assembly. Still has a lot of work to improve designs but there isn't anything the Open Source community can't accomplish!

Traceformer.io is a web application that ingests KiCad projects or Altium netlists along with relevant datasheets, enabling LLM-based schematic review. The system is designed to identify datasheet-driven schematic issues that traditional ERC tools can't detect. Since our first launch (formerly as Netlist.io), we've made some big changes: - Full KiCad project parsing via an open-source plugin - Pass-through API pricing with a small platform fee - Automatic datasheet retrieval - ERC/DRC-style review UI - Revamped review workflow with selectable frontier models (GPT 5.2, Opus 4.5, and…

Hey there HN! We're Vivek and Si-Yan from Cartograph (https://cartograph.app). We've built an AI-powered code documentation platform that automatically generates reference documentation and creates a visual interactive map of the codebase that serves as both high level architecture diagram and allows you to zoom in to specific implementations. How it works: We use static analysis to read a codebase and get its symbols and their dependencies, creating a complete map that includes function calls. We use LLMs (Gemini + Claude) to add metadata to this map, as well as augment it in…
