Hey Product Hunt 👋 I wanted a tool that would help me **think through system design faster during interviews**. Most diagramming tools make you spend too much time dragging boxes, connecting arrows, and arranging everything before you can focus on the actual problem. So I built **Diagramly**, a whiteboard where you can type your ideas, let AI turn them into diagrams, and get straight to solving the problem. For example, type: `Client -> API -(HTTPS)-> Orders, Payments -> Orders DB` Press Enter, and you get a clean, hand-drawn diagram with the layout handled for you. You can keep editing it with text, drag-and-drop, drawing tools, or AI. Here's what makes Diagramly different:** - ⚡ Go from idea to diagram in seconds:** Describe a system in plain English or use a simple typing syntax. AI turns your ideas into diagrams you can refine, rather than making you build everything from scratch. - 🤖 AI that works with your canvas:** Ask it to create a system, add a component, restructure a flow, or change an existing diagram. Every AI change can be reverted. - 🎯 Views built for presenting:** Create multiple views on the same canvas, each highlighting a different part of your system. Switch between them with keyboard shortcuts during a presentation, keeping the audience focused on what matters. - 🎬 Turn diagrams into presentations:** Press `Shift + P` to turn your frames into slides that reveal information step by step. - 🎨 Six visual styles:** Switch between paper, notebook, blueprint, chalkboard, whiteboard marker, and ink & neon with one click. - 📝 Cheat sheets and visual notes:** Combine diagrams with bullets, steps, flows, tables, and takeaways. Publish them as shareable cheat sheets. - 🌐 Embed and share anywhere:** Share view-only links or embed diagrams in docs, wikis, websites, and social media posts. - 📤 Export your work:** Download as PNG, SVG, or PDF, or export to Mermaid. Pro also unlocks slide, GIF, and video exports. Whether you're preparing for a system design interview, explaining an architecture to your team, creating technical documentation, or making a visual post for social media, the goal is the same: **spend less time drawing and more time thinking.** Diagramly is free to use with no sign-up required, and your diagrams stay in your browser. Pro ($6/month) adds unlimited cloud diagrams, 200 AI messages per day, version history, public pages, templates, one-click Tidy layout, and additional export options. I'd love to hear your feedback! What would you want to create with Diagramly, and what's missing from the current typing syntax?
