This is a free two hour therapy course on how to "understand myself" and learn to love your mind.
I hope that this therapy course will be helpful therapy preparation for clients just starting for first time as well as experienced clients who wonder "how do I get the most out of my psychotherapy sessions?"
Yes, this is what I use and I can't recommend it highly enough. I'll try mermaid but I think swimlanes.io is going to win for most use cases. Here's why:
(1) you just open the web app and start typing and you have the beginnings of your diagram within 30 seconds literally.
(2) The web app is elegantly and thoughtfully designed, the diagrams are beautiful, export functionality is there.
For your point (1) I can offer you https://sequence-diagrams.netlify.app which is my years-old quick diagramming tool for Mermaid and works similarly.
For your point (2) I offer the same alternative, but with the caveat that of the 3 criteria of elegant/thoughtful design, beautiful diagrams, and export functionality, it meets only the last 2 (and I claim little personal credit in any case).
> But I'm not aware of a reason why anyone wouldn't want to use swimlanes.io
Totally fair; personal preference. For me I could quite easily replace swimlanes in your comment with my own site, and I'm sure others would have alternatives that also seem an obvious first pick - there's rarely one size fits all.
I can offer a way to generate passive income.
I have a software consultancy (among our clients are Fiverr, Intel and HP software) and I pay about 2000$ per month as finders fees for referring software consulting leads.
What you need to do is to ask your software developer friends if their company is looking to hire a contractor.
When I sign the contract I pay a nice monthly finder's fee.

One of my clients which I'm proud of, Phytech, is deploying huge number of plant sensors to measure their status and help save water by planning how much to irrigate.
They are doing very well and have huge customers in the US and Australia.
