ER diagrams? Architectural diagrams?
Do you do them for your side project? What tools are you using for those?
Yup, if it can improve my understanding. I use physical paper and a fountain pen, I enjoy the aesthetics of it. Then I take a photo and save it to my repo. I heard Rich Hickey uses Omnigraffle.
@spacegangster ooo fancy! Would love to see what they look like with a fountain pen. That winnie the pooh meme comes to mind :D
Nothing really rigid or too structured, but I do make some diagrams to document process flows and model my product DB.
Tool of choice: diagrams.net
@FaizMetronome yes I find that there are somethings that you just need to visualise first and I find they come really handy! I'm using draw.io/diagrams.net too
Flow and ER-diagrams using draw.io
@scriptifyjs love draw.io! Lucid chart was my go to before but they've capped how many elements you can have on the free version.
Depending on how large a project is, a diagram always helps.
Excalidraw is my favorite tool for this. I drop screen grabs and the links to them in Google Slides.
Also if you're using the cloud, you can get icons for them officially. E.g AWS has an assets kit with powerpoint deck, and a figma doc.
