Pretty cool. The biggest thing I think is missing from many popular diagramming tools is the ability to easily diff the architecture across changes. Although that can already be done with graphviz source files. However, these days I prefer to just have diagrams generated from the source code itself, like: - https://github.com/cycloidio/inframap - https://graphviz.org/Gallery/directed/bazel.html In order to make a compelling use case out of having to maintain a parallel definition like this, I think it needs to be able to contribute to analysis like formal verification or, despite them stating that it's not a goal, being able to create the described architecture. Or even generate something like a terraform plan. Otherwise it falls victim to the same problem as any other method of creating diagrams, that of them falling out of sync with the

system. They are a long way there already by providing a way to use a programming language backed by a large ecosystem of other tools that can be used to work with e.g. terraform, like python/go.

Nice project. Thanks for sharing. One more for my collection. I already use Monodraw [1] which works great to document stuff in code. Runway [2] and Diagrams [3] for my presentations and README files. And recently, I’ve been using mingrammer’s Diagrams Python tool [4]. I am very excited about this pull-request on GitHub [5] where some people are creating a web wrapper in Flask around this project so that we can generate the diagrams à la http://webgraphviz.com which is quite similar to established products like Draw.io [6] and CloudCraft [7]. Someone also posted about InfraMap [8] a couple of days ago [9] and I’ve noticed the developers have made several improvements to the graphs in the last couple of days. I hope Jumble’s developer gets good feedback too. I’d recommend replacing the GIF with static images or at least put a progress bar

(here [10] is a program written in Go to do that) because it is very difficult to understand the first time what is happening in the animation with all the code-to-graph-and-back-to-code jump cuts. Keep up the good work.
