VoiceDraw – Talk system design out loud, the diagrams draw themselves
I was frustated by having to draw system design diagrams by hand when discussing it with my team mates or in an interview. So I thought "Wouldn't it be great if someone draws it for me, while I think out loud?". That is when I came up with VoiceDraw. You can just think out loud or discuss your system architecture with a friend/interviewer, the diagrams are automatically drawn along with your reasoning, open questions and tradeoffs beautifully written on to the side.

In plain words
VoiceDraw automatically converts spoken discussions about system architecture into visual diagrams. Users describe their design ideas aloud while the tool simultaneously generates corresponding diagrams and documents reasoning, open questions, and tradeoffs alongside the visuals. It is designed for software engineers discussing designs with teammates or preparing for system design interviews, eliminating the need to manually sketch while thinking through problems.

VoiceDraw turns architecture conversations into live system diagrams. Speak naturally and watch components, relationships, decisions, assumptions, risks, and tradeoffs appear automatically. Built for system design interviews, architecture reviews, and engineering teams that think faster than they can draw.
A professional motion graphics editor that runs in your browser. Real graph editor, expressions, 3D and a full compositing stack, with an AI copilot that edits your timeline. Free, no download.
Every other online animation tool got simple by getting shallow. This one kept the graph editor, the expressions, the 3D and the whole compositing stack, then added an AI copilot that drives them for you. It runs in a tab. If you know After Effects, you already know how to drive this. Free to use. No credit card, no download, no trial countdown. Desktop browser. Not a mockup. That is the editor itself, running in a browser tab. Most things calling themselves an online animation tool are a form with a preview attached. The deep parts here are genuinely there, not approximated, and the reason people switch and stay is that nothing they reach for turns out to be missing. Easing is a curve you…from voicedraw.com

Create diagrams of complex data flows in software systems2024 · github.com · ▲205Hello HN, It has been a while since I contributed to the web, so I decided to get back in shape and publish "something". This app is a POC of "what if diagrams were more dynamic". I'm a software engineer by trade, and with conventional tools, I often times struggle to explain flows of data in complex software systems. I got inspired by video games like The Incredible Machine and Factorio, as in some ways, software systems tend to become Rube Goldberg-esque machines ;) As a side quest, I also wanted to craft diagrams faster than text-based tools (ex: mermaid), as I am always forgetting their…
Agent Draw: An agent draws while you talk, built on TLDrawJul 2026 · techstackups.com · ▲53We recently built 2draw, a Drawful-style game where players draw on a shared canvas and race to guess each other's drawings, on tldraw, an infinite-canvas SDK for React. We started wondering what it would take to put an agent in that loop, as an opponent or a rival guesser, and dug into how an agent could read and draw on a tldraw canvas. That research turned into: Agent draw, a tool that lets an agent draw to the canvas for you while you present. You can try it right now, or grab the source: - Live demo: https://tldraw-agent-draw-demo.james-664.workers.dev - Source:…
- TATalkNotes – A site that turns your ideas into tasks2025 · talknotes.tech · ▲103
Hey all! I created TalkNotes few weeks ago and it started getting traction in hours. It quickly went from 0 -> $700 revenue with One time payment and I decided to remove the one time payment, the line went straight down but since then it rising little by little and has now reached $150 MRR. I'm stoked since this is one of my best projects. The idea is to speak freely into a microphone about anything on your mind—meetings, emails, tasks—and let AI help organize it all. It turns your thoughts into a structured to-do list, notes, flashcards, and more. I created it because spending 15 minutes…
Echosnap AiNov 2025 · useechosnap.com · ▲62Hi everyone, I’m a solo developer and I’ve been working on a small tool called Echosnap AI. I built it because I often get ideas while I’m walking or doing something else, and speaking always felt like the fastest way to capture them. Echosnap lets you record a note and instantly get a clean transcript. It can also translate your recordings and help you stay organized with tags and folders. I tried to keep the app as simple and minimal as possible. This is my first time sharing something on HN, so any feedback or suggestions would mean a lot. Thanks for taking a moment to check it out.

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
