    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…

    I made this because building UIs in a lexical medium like code is super annoying. I have to pre-render what I’m making in my head, and then jump between the browser and IDE to test. I was inspired by the developer console in chrome and safari since I end up editing css there because it’s ironically more convenient. Hope it’s useful!

    Many JS libraries exist to build graphs on the web (Vega, chartJS, Plotly...). They allow to make charts quickly. But you lose flexibility: you're limited by the options they offer. I just created a gallery with hundreds of graphs made with d3.js and React. - Examples are split by graph types - They all come with explanation and code sandboxes - Gradual complexity to ease the learning curve It took me ages to create this project! Feedback welcome!

    Hey HN, I'm Anurag, founder and CEO of Render, a cloud for application developers. We've just launched Render Workflows, a way to define durable tasks by decorating plain TypeScript or Python functions and running them on Render without operating queues, worker pools, retry logic, and state management. Code example below [1]. The use cases we have in mind include agent loops, ETL/data pipelines, billing flows, and other long-running jobs. The model is simple: mark an existing function as a Task, deploy the repo as a Workflow, then trigger runs from your application code or via our API.…

    Hi, clang-uml is an open-source C++ to UML diagram generator, driven by YAML configuration files. The main idea behind the project is to easily maintain up-to-date diagrams within a code-base or document legacy code. The configuration file for clang-uml defines the types and contents of each generated diagram. The diagrams can be currently generated in PlantUML and JSON formats. Main features: - class, sequence, package and include diagrams - up to C++17 with support for C++20 concepts - visualization of template specialization relationships - declarative diagram content filtering based on…

    This is a recent addition to Vexlio which I think the HN crowd may find interesting or useful. TL;DR: easy creation of interactive diagrams, meaning diagrams that have mouse click/hover hooks that you can use to display pop-up content. The end result can be shared with a no-sign-in-required web link. My thought is that this is useful for system docs, onboarding or user guides, presentations, etc. Anything where there is a high-level view that should remain uncluttered + important metadata or details that still need to be available somewhere. You can try it out without signing up for…

    Hi HN, UML diagrams were meant to standardise system design, but they’ve become outdated — slow to build, hard to change, and rarely used in practice. Most tools feel clunky, and diagrams often go stale fast. I’m building RapidChart, a tool to bring diagramming back to life — fast, flexible, and developer-first. What makes it different: Cursor-style interface for rapid diagram creation Fully customisable and exportable AI-assisted (works with GPT-4, Claude, etc.) 100% free This began as part of my research at Imperial College London, and I’d really value your feedback. Here’s the link:…
