An article by Utkarsh Shigihalli
I just finished developing a web application for my client. I was asked to create a developer reference document for the project I completed.
At the end of the document, a solution architect in my team felt a need of a diagram to explain the control flow inside the system. To draw the diagram, I did not have the Microsoft Visio (which I often use for such kind of tasks), and I was not willing to use MS Paint (you have to draw everything on your own), PowerPoint (very less work area) and Paint.net (not easy to draw arrows etc).
I was searching for alternative free solution and I found this site called www.lovelycharts.com. Its dead simple. Register, login and start drawing.
You have save/export options once you are done drawing, and also different draw objects like network items, flow charts, etc.
