    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…

    If you’ve ever tried building onboarding or product adoption with Appcues, Chameleon, Userflow, WalkMe, or Usetiful, you’ve probably hit the same two problems: 1. Everything is rendered with JavaScript overlays 2. Customization is a nightmare A little backstory: When I was choosing an onboarding tool for my previous project, nothing matched what I needed. So I had to build my own. With help from IntroJS I built onboarding solution that I needed: Tooltips, Modals, custom CSS, waiting for interactions, and saving the state into the database. It worked… but it took way more time than it should…

    Hi HN folks, I'm a co-creator of the Dapr CNCF project and co-founder of Diagrid. Today we announced a free-to-use web app that takes any form of workflow diagram (UML, BPMN, scribble in your favorite drawing tool or even on paper) and generates code that runs in any IDE and that can be deployed to Kubernetes and other container based systems, based on Dapr's durable execution workflow engine. This essentially allows you to run durable workflows in minutes and leaves out the guesswork for how to structure, code and optimize a code-first workflow app. I'm happy for you to give this a try and…
