Engineering documentation diagrams
Create cleaner Mermaid and PlantUML diagrams for READMEs, architecture notes, RFCs, and source-controlled engineering docs.
The goal is not to rewrite the diagram from scratch, but to make the source easier to present and reuse.
A scenario page for engineering teams that keep diagrams close to code and need them to stay readable in docs.

Engineering teams that already write docs in Markdown, Notion, GitHub, or internal knowledge bases and want diagrams that can be reviewed like source.
- README and runbook diagrams
- Architecture notes and RFCs
- Source-controlled Mermaid and PlantUML snippets
Best diagram types
Flowcharts explain decision paths, sequence diagrams explain service calls, ER diagrams explain data shape, and class or state diagrams clarify structure and lifecycle.
Workflow
Start from Mermaid or PlantUML source, beautify the output, then export SVG for docs or save the diagram in Diagram Hub so future edits keep the same source-driven workflow.
