As a Christmas gift I'm building a website for my friend to host their poetry and other writing. Motivates me to hone my skills and bring a project to completion.

Maybe you could add a sensor to the setup so you could tell which phone is on the charger- like an RFID tag on each phone case?

This provides a lot of value for us beginners even outside of the threads issue at hand. Federation is a complex idea and lemmy its my first "real" exposure. Great write up

Might just be my ignorance- if it has boxes connected with directional arrows it does everything I need a flow chart to do

Oops i can't read.

Flowcharts / activity diagrams seem well supported too, though.

Looks like it. https://d2lang.com/tour/sequence-diagrams

I'm impressed with the grid diagrams too. I'm not sure plantUML has anything equivalent.

It doesnt support all the diagram types plantUML does (for now) but it has the only two i ever used anyway. The tooling seems more robust and modern. I think I have a better chance getting my coworkers to try this one

This feels like a more modern and feature rich version of PlantUML. Very interesting
