Do teams need a tool to make IT architecture diagrams look better


Hi HN,

I'm exploring the idea of a SaaS that can automatically make IT architecture diagrams look professional and visually appealing.

Current tools (Draw.io, Lucidchart, Miro) are great for drawing, but diagrams often look plain, and it takes a lot of effort to make them presentation-ready.

But I am not sure if it is an actual demand. I’d love to hear from people who create architecture diagrams!

I've been using OmniGraffle for this for... 24 years?!... now; and I'm more than ready for something better to come along, but so far nothing's come close.

There is so much software for auto-generating a UML diagram that already exists. I don't think the market is very large.
