Good point. Added to our backlog.

Yes, we'll also consider Linux distributions.

For the future, we're looking at web-based version with real-time collaboration. But for now, we decided to start with desktop. We were also influenced by the "file over app" philosophy of Obsidian's founder: https://stephango.com/file-over-app.

Yes, we are thinking about integrating with AI!

Oh! I'll check it.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm thinking of the paid version. I would like to offer it much cheaper than balsamiq, probably. Additionally, we'll be offering strong discounts for early users.

I'm a solopreneur. Thank you for seeing it as a massive project :) I don't have a plan to do that, but I want to form and run a small community.

I started this project using Excalidraw, but I started it because it was uncomfortable to draw professional diagrams. I'm the developer who created StarUML and I have experience with commercial diagram software.

Most of the features you mentioned are under planning. DGM have the ability to define custom shapes through constraints and scripts (https://docs.dgm.sh/guides/shape-properties/#advanced-proper...), but it's not matured yet.

Thank you for your opinion.

Could you tell me the missing features that you normally use?
Re:Show HN: DGM: A free online diagramming for the Web and AI on Wednesday January 17, 2024 @07:39PM (#39035841)
Thank you for your feedback. It is still in beta and I'll try to enhance continuously.
