dotey · x · 2026-08-22
Discussion on the trade-offs between AI generation and human editability in diagramming tools.
- Current State: Tools like Mermaid/PlantUML are AI-friendly but hard for humans to tweak; DrawIO is editable but struggles with AI generation stability.
- Proposal: dotey argues HTML/React is currently best due to superior generation quality and editability.
- Gap: A lack of truly AI-native solutions that remain human-friendly.
