From Excalidraw Sketches to Cursor Diagrams
Vjeux · x · 2026-07-19
This repost highlights a workflow for creating technical diagrams: sketching static layouts in Excalidraw first to lock in structure and visual goals before moving to animation. The author notes this approach stabilizes the diagram faster, allowing Cursor to take over the next steps.
The attached image quotes an original post asking: How do you draw 768 servers so they look like 1? The answer is sharding. The original author wrote a post detailing the principles and implementation of Postgres and MySQL sharding, aimed at engineering and architecture enthusiasts.
