I created an ilograph tour: app.ilograph.com/@mikestaub/…

Spent this week deep-diving into the atproto.com source code. This is the first decentralized protocol I've ever seen that has a chance of scaling to billions of users. Very exciting stuff! #programming #tech #startups app.ilograph.com/@mikestaub/…

The dynamic-ness is precisely what I like about Ilograph. It can combine reference material and a linear presentation format in a way I've never seen anywhere else.

what are the best ways to create technical architecture diagrams? im looking for something that looks nice too, apart from being usable

I made a thing 🎉 if you like @ilographs diagrams, but would love to use a real programming language instead of YAML to define diagrams, check it out:
npmjs.com/package/ilograph-t…

Did my talk on "Architecture As Code" today @SAA_conf, speaking about modelling & diagramming as code using tools such as @structurizr and @ilographs - it was a blast 🥳!
In case you missed it, I also have written a blog post on the topic:

I documented a lambda function with @ilographs today and loved it !
It's a great tool for this job. Interactive, portable, easy to learn. Big potential --> ilograph.com/

Hey Twitterverse geeks
What are you using to draw software/architecture diagrams?
I was searching for freeware, ended up using drawio. Just wondering if there is anything better.

Having fun playing around with @ilographs and @structurizr - will post an article soon on using @ilographs to visualize @structurizr architecture models 🚀🚀🚀

After many blockers this year, I'm finally making progress on my game again. The Council is a purely #serverless, server-side game engine in #AWS. Distributed systems are complicated. Luckily, I use @ilographs to keep it understandable.

Tried out @ilographs yesterday. I really like how easy it is to create clear visualisations. On top of that you can create different perspectives, call sequences and walkthroughs and you've got a pretty powerfull diagramming tool!

The problem is not diagrams. The problem is we need to tell stories of how, why and what our architectures are the way they are. So I like that this is a story telling tool, not a diagramming tool (only).

The lines on any architecture diagram are always more interesting than the boxes. – at Worcester, MA

ICYMI, you can now define software architecture models with the text-based DSL, and export them to Ilograph.
v1.4.0 of the Structurizr CLI is now available from github.com/structurizr/cli/r…
It adds support for:
- Exporting to Ilograph
- Return/response messages (dynamic views)
- Software system instances (deployment views)
Plus a few bug fixes with the PlantUML/Mermaid exports.

I've deployed a demo of the Ilograph exporter for Structurizr workspaces, which you can find at structurizr.com/dsl ... this will be included in the CLI at some point soon.
Let me know what you think.

"Visio, draw.io, LucidChart, Gliffy, etc - not recommended for software architecture diagrams" -> dev.to/simonbrown/visio-draw…
tl;dr:
- No guidance
- Content and presentation is mixed
- No model, no consistency
- Hard to diff
- Limited automation
- Time consuming
