Re:Isoflow – Infrastructure Diagrams

Looks like cloudcraft to me from a few years ago but more general. Still looking for a multi-dimensional / multi-planar tool that can let me show the same functional components with different graph coloring and edges. A control / management diagram won’t look like a dataflow nor anything similar to how I want to do a network segmentation diagram for auditors and security engineers. Every time I write a new diagram for a different audience it feels like I’m repeating half my work. Heck, I’m not sure if anyone else has this frustration even

Hi devonkim,
Thanks for checking out Isoflow, I'd love to know more about how you use diagrams in your work. The intention is to take Isoflow in the direction you're describing (i.e. being able to show different processes on top of the same diagram), so would really love to get your thoughts on what you think are the most important aspects. Please reach out to me through the 'contact' tab on Isoflow if you're up for discussing further. Thanks again for the feedback.
If your goal is for this to be used for engineering rather than just visual presentation, my advice is to support defining the actual system structure as text, and then use the UI to design views of that structure.
Bonus points if it consumes the text via git.
Thanks for the advice, I'm currently updating the data structure and will keep this in mind

It's does what you described and more.
