Optimized diagramming tool for engineers

Create a technical sketching app that uses compiler techniques to clean up and optimize diagrams automatically.

Why now

Technical documentation is increasingly visual, but engineers lack good diagramming tools.

Who for
Software engineers
Business model
Team subscriptions
Effort
A few months

Engineers waste time manually aligning boxes and arrows in diagrams.

A sketching tool that applies layout algorithms to organize messy drawings.

Teams would pay for version-controlled, automatically maintained architecture diagrams.

Start with basic force-directed layout of boxes and arrows. Risk: Hard to outperform general-purpose tools like Excalidraw.
