A few diagrams.net (formerly draw.io, see below why) that made me more productive with it
Posted by jpluimers on 2026/02/09
Diagram.net is a wonderful on-line and off-line drawing tool that saves drawings in XML format and provides a rich set of shapes libraries.
It used to start out as draw.io (well, actually diagram.ly when some parts were still Java applets), but then in 2020 started migrating to migrate to diagrams.net, both for domain and name, because, well a [Wayback/Archive] wonderful piece of modern day British Imperialism. See [Wayback/Archive] Blog – Open source diagramming is moving to diagrams.net, slowly for details.
Oh yes, this is one of the tools where Java and JavaScript actually are related (:
The tool is still open source at [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – jgraph/drawio: Source to app.diagrams.net.
