A Visual App Architecture Diagram Tool – Looking for Feedback (diagrams.cc)
2 points by soheilH 5 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 6 comments





Hey HN,

I’ve been working on a visual application architecture diagram tool that helps me reason about logic and data flow more effectively. It’s essentially an interactive flow diagram interface where you can drag-and-drop nodes (like API, data, logic, etc.), connect them visually, and see how your app’s pieces relate to each other. I’ve found it incredibly useful for planning features and clarifying complex relationships in my own projects.

Now, I’d love your feedback:

Does this sort of visual approach help you clarify your application logic? Do you see potential in integrating it into your workflow? Any features or improvements you’d like to see? Check it out if you’re curious, and let me know what you think! Your insights would be a huge help as I continue refining it. Thanks in advance!


It looks nice! The homepage did take >10 seconds to load, and the "get started" button is completely white for me unless hovering, probably a minor CSS bug. The main diagramming tool has a clean and professional look to it, but pretty much every action from dragging a box around to adding a new box has ~1s delay for me, which seems strange. Also I might make the menu on the left a little bigger, I'm on a monitor and I nearly missed it. Without the latency issue, seems like it could be handy though!

Thanks for the feedback, I just fixed that and addressed your comments, feel free to try again :)

Yes, works much better now!

Nothing loads after 10sec. It's not my internet.

I would also suggest adding a 'Show' to the title.

I just fixed it, if you want to give another try :)
