Can you export to other formats than JSON?
x0z 1 day ago|
Which formats would you like to see?
zero0529 1 day ago|||
I think some Image formats or vector graphics would be cool!

It's a bit confusing to see "openflow" diagrams that include network components, that have nothing to do with OpenFlow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenFlow

It is unrelated, right? Just a name clash with an overlapping domain?

Hahahah yes so funnily enough my dad works with the IETF, and I showed him this project and he said "I was really confused why you called it that when that's a standard" Might be due a rebrand already!

I'm not one to pile onto the "you can't name it something that's already taken" comments, but given the name recognition within your target audience already, yeah. Plus, this will just be really hard to google.

Definitely rebrand... This is going to confuse a lot of people!

If it can consume terraform state and visualize it, that would be amazing.

This is something I'm working on. I'll probably do a separate post some time.

It's on the list ;)

And for the next level of wishful thinking, filter that Terraform state and show only main components...

There's also diagrams.mingrammer.com which is a fantastic tool.

Works on 24.3.0 for me, though many a warning is thrown.

I'm inclined to agree with Edward Tufte - the 3D part doesn't add any information to the diagrams, so it is superfluous

Interesting visuals change the way in which people engage with a diagram. You can think of it as an aspect of storytelling. Personally I find my eyes much more likely to be drawn to these isometric diagrams, compared to a 2D equivalence. The 3D aspect draws my eyes in and keeps them there. So what's being added doesn't need to be raw information that changes the facts of a diagram, it can be an aid to processing. There's a reason that visual design is a thing.
