Congrats on the Show HN!

I’d love to take a look at your product but the link in your launch is gated behind a login.

Your product definitely sounds interesting to me [1] and I’m sure there are a few others who’d like to see it in action without first creating an account.

Can you please link to any of a live preview from a repo on GitHub, a demo or even a video showing your product in action?

1: I came across https://text-to-diagram.com/ on HN and think using text to create diagrams is cool, if done right. Would be interested in a technical deep dive on how you are able to strike a balance between showing too little vs too much info in the diagrams your tool creates from Terraform files.

hey Ayewo, have a look at the link below, this is a short demo video showing how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlEajEoUytc&t=124s&ab_channe...

I've just watched the video. Pretty cool product.

Some ideas to make your value proposition clear to visitors to your website:

1. On the landing page show a side-by-side of some Terraform code and its corresponding diagram (produced by your tool).

2. Show a range of screenshots of nice looking diagrams produced by your tool, including the isometric versions (shown in your video).

Questions:

1. Can you share more information about pricing? Freemium or free-trial?

2. Why did you choose the name Holori? What does it mean?

good ideas, yesterday I wrote a medium post exactly showing your 1st point : https://medium.com/@alexandre_43174/generating-terraform-gra...

Concerning the pricing, it's a freemium model based on the amount of Runs made. We offer 50 runs per month which approximately means 50 diagrams generated. We consider that a run is performed every time you modify your terraform files as we will process them to generate a new diagram.

Regarding the name Holori, despite we are french, the name actually sounds Italian and I personally love the italian language :) Also we wanted a name that sounded technological, fun and that could be pronounced worldwide!
