#Google introduces #Lucidchart and #Lucidspark apps in #GoogleChat

Looking forward to trolling my colleagues with diagrams made using this template. My excuse? I was denied a licence for #LucidChart. #VintageComputing #Flowchart #PunchedCard #PunchedTape #DrumDisk #MagneticTape

A close up of a section of an orange transparent plastic template for producing diagrams using 1960s conventions for flowcharts and data flow diagrams. The templates shown are "document" (a rectangle whose bottom edge is shaped like a single sine-wave cycle), "punched card" (a rectangle with its top-left corner snipped off), "punched tape" (like "document", but both top and bottom sides of the rectangle have the wave) and " auxiliary operation" (a simple square).

A straight on view of an orange transparent plastic template on a white paper background. There are about forty shapes in the template. Each one is labelled in black capital letters. The other photo caption describes some in detail.

I use #Lucidchart for these because UML style used by #drawio is the crappy and convoluted UML version, and with #yEd you have to go too great lengths for a trivial task: https://yed.yworks.com/support/qa/2054/is-a-data-flow-diagram-palette-available

It is sad how weak the support is for this diagram type among the tools, given that it is the most useful of them all...

Edit: actually draw.io also has old school versions in the palette so I was wrong. I might use that in the future :-)

@malwaretech I can't tell for sure what software created those specific graphs, but #LucidChart is a great tool for this. https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/product

Went to add #LucidChart to my Google Docs and was presented with this permissions prompt, and quite frankly, fuck that: why the hell does LucidChart need to see my Calendar??

Quite peculiar that #Lucidchart is claiming that Apple's policies are why they can't provide their iOS app to their individual subscription tier customers anymore. 🤔

Screenshot of an email from Lucid with the following body text:

We are reaching out to let you know that users on an Individual Lucidchart subscription will no longer have access to the Lucidchart iOS mobile app as of August 17, 2023. Due to Apple’s policies, the iOS app will only be available to those on a Team or Enterprise account. We recognize this change may cause inconvenience, and we will continue to evaluate our mobile offerings going forward.

You may continue to use Lucidchart via tablet by logging into lucid.app on your web browser or by logging in to Lucidchart on desktop. We are actively working on updating our mobile web browser experience so Individual-level subscribers can use Lucidchart on mobile devices in the near future.

If you are on a team but don’t have a Team Lucidchart subscription, upgrade today to maintain access to our iOS app.

Are there #software #architecture #design tools out there? Basically a #GUI for #developing #code but with the focus on the design of the #software? Maybe a combo of #scratch and #LucidChart or #diagramsio

I tired out #LucidChart for a hobby project last night and was blown away in two ways.

1) This is intuitive and useful software.
2) The free-tier is self-defeating low - it has an object limit, so complex charts are impossible.

Now I'm seeking #foss alternatives because I can't see playing an ongoing subscription for something I'll rarely use.

I'm probably atypical, but I often start using software in my hobbies then move to using it professionally.

I guess I won't use lucid chart this way.

@kstewart did I hear #figma? I am currently using both figma and figjam for brain storming and collaboration. I am creating wireframes to illustrate a process instead of just written content. Teaching myself, but I also like #lucidchart for creating some quick workflows as well. As a newbie on figma my turnaround is a bit slower. Not a designer, but faster in other tools. #figma has a lot of community templates. Unless I am missing something you can't edit the shared ones. Nice to look at.

#HotTip Diagramming is essential in my work, and we have #LucidChart licences for a few of us, but I've started using the #OpenSource alternative https://www.diagrams.net/

The best part, it's XML driven so It can be version controlled in #git and you don't need to even sign up to start using it.

4 years later, Lucidchart's integration in Confluence is still complete garbage. And I can't tell if it's Lucidchart's or Confluence's fault. And that's too bad because Lucidchart is otherwise pretty cool.
