🖌️ Aktivisda – pretty cool tool i wasn't aware of 🙌

This is specific to extinction rebellion, but apparently all sorts of campaigns/organisations can set up an instance based on their visuals.

Extinction Rebellion instance: https://extinctionrebellion.aktivisda.earth/fr/

Sad thing its not mobile ready, desktop only. But really cool initiave. These French people mean business with their open source: Mobilizon, PeerTube, Cryptpad... and now this. ⚜️⭐🔥

대다수 AI 이미지 도구가 픽셀을 생성하는 현재와 달리, 트윗은 미래는 'visual code'라며 AI가 래스터 이미지 대신 SVG를 생성하면 자산이 프로그래머블해진다고 제안합니다. 그 결과 편집 가능한 도형, 스타일 제어, 무한 변형, 적은 컨트롤 포인트로 쉬운 편집 및 직접 사용이 가능해진다는 점을 강조합니다.

I keep rebuilding component systems when I switch tools. Webflow to Figma, Figma to Webflow. The friction is brutal.

How do you handle it? Copy-paste and rebuild every time? I'm trying to build something to fix this — genuinely curious what the workflow looks like for others.

Any tool recommendations for creating UML diagrams/adjacent. For systems/processes?

Sequence, flow, state machine, use case etc.

Whenever I search it’s either vendor locked subscription SaaS or some basic but usable tool that costs $800 for a license, Im happy to pay non-enterprise level amount for a good tool.
(I know there’s a having cake and eating it too argument here)

But wondered what options am I missing?
