Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Nick, and I built IsoDraw.
Every architecture diagram I've worked with had the same two problems. It was out of date the week after someone drew it. And it didn't tell you anything beyond boxes and arrows: why is there a cache here, what's the timeout on that load balancer, which subnet is this in?
IsoDraw fixes both:
🧊 Diagrams people want to look at. Switch any diagram between an isometric 2.5D view and a flat 2D view with one click. Built-in AWS, GCP and Azure icons, plus shapes, areas, subnets and sequence-diagram lifelines.
📝 Docs on every component. Click a load balancer and write what it does, its settings and its listeners right there. @mention other components to link them. Each diagram gets a docs page with a navigable tree, so new teammates can click through your system instead of asking around.
🤖 Your AI agents keep it current. Connect IsoDraw over MCP to Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code or Cursor, then ask: "Draw our checkout flow: web app, API, payments service and Postgres, with a doc on each part." The agent adds the components, connections and docs, and IsoDraw lays them out.
📦 Start from a real example. Templates include a three-tier web app, a serverless API, an IoT pipeline, Kubernetes microservices and more, each already documented.

What would make you swap your current diagram tool for this?
Which integrations or icon sets should come next?
