Draw.io and Web Sequence Diagrams really improved my code documentation because I actually want to use them.

Pretty rare for software imo.

WSD seems neat. I'd like to explore it further, but I'm not interested in signing up for yet another account.

For me, the biggest advantage Draw.io has over many of its competitors is that it can be self-hosted.

If you like the text based ness of WSD, you might like https://mscgen.js.org - which is 100% open source & client side only.

Last I checked you can use WSD without account just can’t save, but iirc it records to the url so you can still kinda work it. Also; could be wrong but I thought it allowed federated logins.

It’s worth it.

The syntax is stupid easy and you really would have to try to mess it up. Fast to make workflow diagrams that other people can edit.
