Show HN: UML is dead – so I'm building the tool to revive it Hi HN, UML diagrams were meant to standardise system design, but they’ve become outdated — slow to build, hard to change, and rarely used in practice. Most tools feel clunky, and diagrams often go stale fast. I’m building RapidChart, a tool to bring diagramming back to life — fast, flexible, and developer-first. What makes it different: Cursor-style interface for rapid diagram creation Fully customisable and exportable AI-assisted (works with GPT-4, Claude, etc.) 100% free This began as part of my research at Imperial College London, and I’d really value your feedback.
