Gliffy - Web diagrams
By dave | July 6, 2007
I needed to draw a quick diagram for my earlier post on by value and by reference variables in C#. The obvious choice is Visio but I don’t use it frequently enough to make it worth buying (cheapskate aren’t I). The next thing I looked at was MSPaint and Photoshop, while both of these are fine for drawing simple pictures and/or editing photos neither are any good for drawing diagrams.
A quick web search later turned up Gliffy which allows you to draw Visio like diagrams in a browser. It’s actually amazingly usable and you can create 5 diagrams for free before you have to start paying them.
I have to say I can’t think of any reason you’d want to store all your diagrams on the web but it’s a very cool little tool and a great example of what is possible in a browser.
