I ❤️❤️❤️ #drawio.

I use it for all my diagrams. It's also free and available for web or desktop, so you can access it from anywhere. There's even an #Obsidian plugin for creating diagrams with it.

But, as with so many tools, my technical diagrams were looking a bit stale 😦

I wanted to give them a fresh look, and what better than an 80's neon beach aesthetic to make them pop? ✨🕶️✨

Well, whichever developer added the ability to style drop shadows earlier this year made my dream come true.

I present: the Beach Dreams style for #drawio. It comes in two neon flavors: Bold Beach and Creamy Beach. Bold Beach is a bit more vibrant, while Creamy Beach is a bit more pastel.

As always with neons, some colors will be less ideal for things like text or small details, so keep that in mind.

Enjoy :)
