Hey HN,I’m excited to share Tato, a Python file layout formatter that organizes your code into a consistent structure. Unlike other code autoformatters like black and ruff, Tato focuses solely on reorganizing the layout of your files without touching your code’s syntactic style.The idea for Tato came to me while navigating a neglected corner of a large codebase. I found myself struggling with...
It’s definitely not the same as drawing on a whiteboard, but I’ve found it useful for explaining abstractions.
Curious if that would work for your usecase / always appreciate any feedback.
The whiteboards are autosaved, so you can return to the URL and see the same board. Planning to add export support soon, but for now, screenshots are the only way to save a copy locally.
we fixed a bug so text should always be editable if the box is selected. and the "delete" key should also work now.
agree the blinking cursor is the standard for indicating if something is text editable. Its proven a bit tricky to get right, but hopefully, we'll have it working soon.
Its based on the idea that for most system diagrams, you just need boxes, text and arrows. everything else is superfluous. Its collaborative by default so you can invite someone to join you with the URL. The tools aren't discoverable yet, so to use it:
- option(⌥) + click to create a box
- option(⌥) + drag to create a grouping box
- select a box and option(⌥) + click another to draw an arrow
- select a box and type to edit text
would very much appreciate feedback! (email in profile)
