drawio-desktop

For anyone who is willing to use a webapp, I like drawio[0]. You can download locally[1] and self host (I just use the python webserver). While finding the Github, I see they now actually package an Electron application, so that is probably worth exploring[2].

I like excalidraw for live discussions but if I want to make more detailed or better looking diagrams, I really enjoy these two tools: - For drag-and-drop/WYSIWYG, I really like DrawIO. They have a web version https://app.diagrams.net/ but I strongly recommend the desktop version https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/ - For text-as-diagram, I think Mermaid wins this by default since GitHub added markdown support for these: https://mermaid.live/ (This was github's announcement https://github.blog/2022-02-14-include-diagrams-markdown-fil... )

I had the same experience with Pencil, but switched to the desktop version of Draw.io https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/ which I really like and recommend.

Draw.io is amazing! It has now been renamed to diagrams.net: https://app.diagrams.net/ Github repo: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio It's very easy to self-host, especially on Github Pages: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio#running There's also desktop apps for Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac and Chrome OS: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/latest

I've started using draw.io [1] for diagrams I want to embed in markdown files. The cool feature about draw.io is that it can embed the data structure describing the diagram in a png file. So you get a PNG file that is both source code for your diagram (so you can edit it later), as well as the presentation (you can embed png files and they will render fine in Github hosted md files). Then I use the markdown-images package [2] for Sublime Text, and I can see those png images in my markdown files in the editor as well. Benefits of this approach: * Powerful diagram editor, free to use. * Editable diagram and embedable image in one file. * Diagrams rendered in text editor.

Just good ol' draw.io desktop app: https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop Comments below already figured out the rotate-hue trick :) Styling inside the SVG is possible... if the SVG is inline, and not in an `<img>` tag. Also, it would be really hard to target which elements to style, as draw.io does not really give you classes for each color family. Oh also, I have a whole .drawio => .pdf => .svg => optimized .svg pipeline so you can just save the .svg and not worry about having the fonts. (But also the svg no longer contains the text itself — it's a trade-off).

I also like draw.io - I found out recently that it's open source and has a 'desktop' (ie electron) version https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/tag/v13.6....

That can't be right, I use draw.io on my mint laptop, from https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases

They've had an Electron version out for at least a year now. I use it every day on Ubuntu. https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop

Not to knock VS Code, but I suspect this has more to do with draw.io Desktop[0] and VS Code both being JS/electron apps and draw.io officially supporting an embedded mode[1]. IIRC, most of IntelliJ is open source but it is probably much harder to embed a JS app in a Java app. [0] https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop [1] https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-integration

The draw.io desktop app [0] also a CLI for output rendering. [0] https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop

draw.io -- [browser based](https://www.draw.io/) as well as [desktop drawing tool](https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/tag/v12.9....) with many templates for flowcharts, UML, etc. Free and very useful.

hi there, draw.io is a free tool both available online at https://www.draw.io/ or you can download a desktop version from https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases. Quite fast and good.

Use desktop version https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases
