“ASCIIFlow is perfect for creating quick diagrams directly in plain text. I use it for network layouts and architecture sketches that need to live inside documentation or code comments.

“We rely on ASCIIFlow during incident response notes and runbooks. Being able to draw ASCII diagrams that work in terminals and wikis is extremely helpful.
