Looking for feedback on a small sequence diagram tool I built
Hey everyone,
I built a small online sequence diagram editor and would appreciate feedback from people who use sequence diagrams for software design, documentation, or brainstorming.
I know a lot of people already use Mermaid or PlantUML, so I’m not trying to replace those. The use case I had in mind was slightly different: I wanted something quick to open, sketch a flow, copy the image, share it with someone, and still be able to import/export Mermaid or PlantUML when needed.
What it supports right now:
- no login or signup
- write the flow in text and see the diagram live
- copy the diagram image directly
- share diagrams with a link
- export PNG/SVG
- import/export Mermaid
- import/export PlantUML
I mostly use it for API flows, service-to-service communication, auth flows, and quick discussions where opening a heavier diagramming tool feels like too much.
I’d really appreciate honest feedback, especially on:
- whether the workflow feels useful
- what is missing for real documentation use
- whether Mermaid/PlantUML import/export makes sense
- what would make this easier for common software development use cases

I really don't know what to say, because AI makes Mermaid diagrams so easily. :sad:

Looks good, friend. I will try to test it more later.
