I also use Monodraw, can only recommend with one caveat:
@Dear Monodraw developers, if you're reading this, please please please implement discarding text edit popups using ESC, it's been years and I still keep reaching for ESC every time I use Monodraw. I tried decompiling it to binary patch it, but unfortunately it messes up the update mechanism.
replyHave you tried emailing them? Usually indie developers are quite open to small reasonable suggestions like that.
replyI’ve implemented that feature but I haven’t had the time to push out a new update (family life and day job take up all my time).
replyI’ll try to prioritise this over the next few weeks.
Thanks for all the kind words to everyone who likes Monodraw.

This is my most missed app since switching from Mac to Windows. This new kid on the block looks like a solid replacement, though! Will definitely be checking it out.
replyAbsolutely. Handy for making diagrams or just doodling and making custom headers for config files with `fig` and some boxes and shadows!
replyI bought it too. I think most of us seem to bought it almost 10 years ago. Don’t use it much, but it is there when needed once in a while.
replyLikewise. I can unreservedly say it’s one of my best app purchases of all time.
replyRight now you can just tell claude to generate an ascii diagrama, or even svg. I did a few days ago when I wanted to share a flow diagram of one particular flow in our app.
replyI used to love monodraw when I had a mac. My daily driver and work machine is Linux now, so I've been searching for a suitable replacement for a while now. This one is probably the best I've seen so far.
replyOne of the few things I miss after ditching the mac
replyOne thing that bugs me is that I can no longer access any of my Monodraw sketches because I don’t own a Mac anymore.
reply+++ Monodraw is awesome!
