Hello everyone, I'm Mithun, creator of cloudskew.com: a free app for sketching cloud architecture diagrams.

Check out some diagram samples here - https://www.cloudskew.com/docs/samples.html

Icons for AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, CNCF, Alibaba Cloud, Oracle Cloud and more are already preloaded in the app.

Documentation for all AWS, Azure, GCP resources can be accessed from within the app itself.

Hope the community finds it useful.

Hihi, hope its okay to ask, but why is it free? It's a great tool, but you have an associated Professional Services and your privacy policy is currently empty [1]. Will we get contacted about contracting opportunities if we sign-up?

LOL. Good questions.

1. Haven't found the time to fill in the privacy-policy, terms-of-usage pages. Been swamped with feature work.

2. No, you'll never get ANY emails from us.

3. Product is free for individual users. However, there are plans to release a paid enterprise version later in the year (with SSO, customer-managed-encryption-keys, customer-managed-storage, team collaboration features etc).

Github login is broken

I just tried it, worked fine for me. Can you please try refreshing the page? If you're observing any browser console error, would you mind filing an issue here: https://github.com/cloudskew/cloudskew/issues

Was due to the Firefox container extension not preserving cookies.

maybe i am holding it wrong but i only see Azure icons in the app? where is the AWS stuff?

[mithunshanbhag]

Click on 'add/remove icons' link at the bottom left on the page. Then choose 'AWS'. The aws icons should appear in the icon palette.

This looks great!

Just a couple quick feedback items. I had a little trouble finding that Add/Remove Icons' link and after i selected AWS in the preferences i couldn't figure out how to make it go away and get back to the palette. Moving that to the navbar on the left with a gallery type icon might work.

One other suggestion would be to lock the aspect ratio of any kind of stencil that has a product logo in it.

Again these are just minor nitpicks, fantastic work!

[mithunshanbhag]

Thanks.

Clicking on the 'user preferences & settings' icon (on the left-hand bar) will take you to the same location. But yes, I agree that the UX could definitely be improved here.

Regarding the aspect ratio, I already have a github issue open: https://github.com/cloudskew/cloudskew/issues/74
