Eraser

What Eraser is

A workspace where technical documents and diagrams live together. You write Markdown, generate architecture and sequence diagrams in the same canvas, and keep both updated as the system changes.

Diagrams are stored as code, so they can be versioned and reviewed like anything else.

What you can do with it

• Generate flowcharts, sequence and ER diagrams
• Produce cloud architecture diagrams
• Write Markdown docs with diagrams embedded
• Keep diagrams versioned as code
• Comment and collaborate with the team
• Connect to GitHub workflows
• Export diagrams and documents

Who it is for

• Engineers and architects
• Technical writers
• Platform and infrastructure teams
• Teams whose docs and diagrams drift apart

What to watch out for

• Generated diagrams are a starting point and usually need rearranging
• Diagram-as-code means learning the syntax if you want fine control
• Connecting to GitHub means reviewing repository permissions
• Docs still go stale without an owner, whatever the tooling
