What's the best text-based flowchart/diagraming tool?

This is not really what I'm looking for. I don't see the value of this tool over a template in sketch or illustrator. I'm looking more for something that will auto-generate the shapes based on text inputs.

Its Open source, User friendly , Easy to customize and yes no signup required😊!

And you can also save to Google Drive and restore later! Superb

Great way to create flowcharts using only text

Just found this yesterday, 'cause I was also looking for such a tool. Enjoy the free trial! And tell me kindly if there is yet something else worth trying.

The best visualization tool I've found. It's a pity that it is not open source =(

Lucidchart is without a doubt the best in my opinion. It's fast, simple, complicated when you need it to be, and supports full collaboration and sharing.

This one's pretty easy to use. It also has tons of integrations—Slack, G Suite, Box, Microsoft Office Suite, Dropbox, Jira, etc— and has mobile apps. I've mainly used it to map stories for writing projects, bit it's a pretty robust tool with a lot of different use cases.

Definitely Lucidchart, has been around for years. Tons of features, works well/easy to use. Can't go wrong here.

Amazing tool to create quick flowcharts. dragging & resizing is possible but it beautifully rearranges everything as your map increases.

Text based language for some UML diagrams. Flow charts need improving, which is on roadmap (I'm the founder)

Text-based flowchart creation. Steep price but powerful, flexible and most importantly - generated by text and tab spaces.

Make diagrams with JSON or YAML, rather than drag-and-drop.
