melsaywhatTIL how to use Mermaid (for flow charts) thanks to <a href="https://ecoevo.social/@rlcw" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rlcw</a> simply telling me about it in mid-to-late April. Apparently it's available as a M365 Loop Component. Good stuff. Honestly, it's easier than any manual flow chart solution I've ever used. Don't be intimidated. <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/TIL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TIL</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Mermaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mermaid</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/FlowCharts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FlowCharts</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/M365" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#M365</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Loop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Loop</a>

Jeff MacKinnonBack in the day I used dia for making flowcharts and decision trees. For the last couple of years, I had regressed to using .DOTToday I have a rather complicated chart that I need others to help with, and I don't expect them to understand DOT format, but DIA hasn't had an update in YEARS.Is it still "fine", or is there a better alternative out there?Must be open source, installable on Windows and Linux, & preferrably not web based.<a href="http://dia-installer.de/download/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://dia-installer.de/download/index.html</a><a href="https://bluenoser.me/tags/help" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#help</a> <a href="https://bluenoser.me/tags/flowcharts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flowcharts</a> <a href="https://bluenoser.me/tags/lazyweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lazyweb</a>

Funkatron (Ed Finkler)Fuck yeah I realized I can justify making diagrams.What tool(s) do you use for diagraming and flowcharting? I am on MacOS 13.I like things that are simple, open, and use common formats.<a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/diagrams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diagrams</a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/flowcharts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flowcharts</a> <a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/todayIDrewAtWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#todayIDrewAtWork</a>
