In plain words

Draw.io is a VS Code extension that lets developers create and edit diagrams directly within the editor. It integrates diagram creation into the development workflow, allowing teams to collaborate on visual designs without leaving their coding environment. The tool supports multiple diagram types and works alongside version control systems, making it useful for developers who need to document architecture, workflows, and technical designs as part of their projects.

  • Diagram as code tool with draggable customizationsOct 2025 · github.com · ▲266

    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 a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
