a day agoI also use Monodraw, can only recommend with one caveat:
@Dear Monodraw developers, if you're reading this, please please please implement discarding text edit popups using ESC, it's been years and I still keep reaching for ESC every time I use Monodraw. I tried decompiling it to binary patch it, but unfortunately it messes up the update mechanism.

a day agoHave you tried emailing them? Usually indie developers are quite open to small reasonable suggestions like that.

a day agoI’ve implemented that feature but I haven’t had the time to push out a new update (family life and day job take up all my time).
I’ll try to prioritise this over the next few weeks.
Thanks for all the kind words to everyone who likes Monodraw.

a day agoThis is my most missed app since switching from Mac to Windows. This new kid on the block looks like a solid replacement, though! Will definitely be checking it out.

a day agoOne thing that bugs me is that I can no longer access any of my Monodraw sketches because I don’t own a Mac anymore.

a day agoAbsolutely. Handy for making diagrams or just doodling and making custom headers for config files with `fig` and some boxes and shadows!

a day agoI used to love monodraw when I had a mac. My daily driver and work machine is Linux now, so I've been searching for a suitable replacement for a while now. This one is probably the best I've seen so far.

a day agoI bought it too. I think most of us seem to bought it almost 10 years ago. Don’t use it much, but it is there when needed once in a while.

a day agoPedantic note to people using 'ASCII' in this thread (although Monosketch tool does't (EDIT actually does) claim to be ASCII). It uses e.g. "◎" U+25CE BULLSEYE which definitely isn't.
And the 'ascii-driven-development' blog post mentioned downthread even uses emojis.

a day agoThat circuit schematic in the header is wrong enough to look like an AI-generated hallucination of what a schematic is from the "human with extra fingers" stage of image generation. Inconsistent symbol styles, missing pin labels, a shorted capacitor in the upper-left, etc.

a day agoIf you use Emacs, there's a pretty nifty package https://github.com/tbanel/uniline

a day agoThere's graph-easy, which generates ascii by default but can also do box chars, and even SVG and png, as well as generating graphviz and other output.
It is not WYSIWIG---you feed it a description of a diagram:
echo "[ Berlin ] -- train --> [ Bonn ] [ Bonn ] --> [ Berlin ]" | graph-easy -as boxart ┌───────────────────┐
∨ │
┌────────┐ train ┌──────┐
│ Berlin │ ───────> │ Bonn │
└────────┘ └──────┘

a day agoTip: look into setting the value of the `spellcheck` HTML attribute/property to `false` for your element labels -- I am looking at red wavy underlines under every "GND", "uF" etc, on the [linked] front page. Spell-checking is obviously practically useless since these labels aren't meant to be spell English (or otherwise) words, I imagine.
