Show HN: DiagramIDE – Diagrams as Source Files

Category: devtools

Tags: diagrams, prolog, pikchr, svg, declarative

Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 5, Documentation: 5, Utility: 4)

DiagramIDE allows users to create diagrams using Pikchr and Prolog Definite Clause Grammars (DCGs), treating diagrams as inspectable text files. It offers a GUI and CLI for transforming Prolog code into SVG, combining diagramming with declarative programming in a unique but niche approach. The project is still early-stage with limited documentation and a small user base.

Target audience: backend devs, data engineers
