This feels like a more modern and feature rich version of PlantUML. Very interesting
Looks like it. https://d2lang.com/tour/sequence-diagrams
I'm impressed with the grid diagrams too. I'm not sure plantUML has anything equivalent.
It doesnt support all the diagram types plantUML does (for now) but it has the only two i ever used anyway. The tooling seems more robust and modern. I think I have a better chance getting my coworkers to try this one
Oops i can't read.
Flowcharts / activity diagrams seem well supported too, though.
Does it? I looked through the document and didn't find it. It seems to be more focus on state diagram / component diagram.
Might just be my ignorance- if it has boxes connected with directional arrows it does everything I need a flow chart to do
There are a lot more specific shapes and layouts in a flowchart than simple boxes and arrows. E.g. start and end, branching, loop back, subprocess, etc
For VS Code users, there's also the terrastruct.d2 extension that provides language support for .d2 files. It even let's you use the preview feature to watch live changes!
If anyone is interested, it would be great to have a write up on d2 and the extension over at !vscode@programming.dev
This looks crazy cool… one of those projects that I really wish I had a use for so I could try it lol
Looks great. I've been using asciiflow and sequence diagram for my diagrams. I'll give this a try
