Hey HN,

I’ve been working on a side project called RapidChart for the past few months, a tool for generating technical/system design diagrams more easily.

How RapidChart works:

- It’s completely free - It uses a cursor-like interface for diagram generation - It’s 100% customizable - You can iterate with AI and choose your favorite LLM models (GPT-4, Claude, etc.)

This started as part of my research project at Imperial College London, and I’d love some honest feedback.

If you think it’s terrible, please tell me why. If it’s useful or interesting, I’d love to hear that too!

Thanks!
