Microsoft Fabric Shapes for Excalidraw

Miles Cole has an announcement:

I’m thrilled to announce that my Microsoft Fabric Shape Library for Excalidraw has been published!

Documenting and diagramming solution architectures is critical for both conceptualizing and building maintainable data solutions. Whether you are whiteboarding ideas for review with your customer or technical lead, or documenting an existing solution so that new or future team members can understand your spaghetti architecture, high-quality diagrams are a must.

Having spent time in both web and graphic design at various points in my career, I’ve developed a stumbling block: I have a hard time feeling good about a diagram unless it looks stellar. While I’ve successfully used a few diagramming tools in the past, I’ve never fallen in love with one—until now. Enter Excalidraw.

Click through to learn more about Excalidraw and try out the icons. I’ve always been a fan of draw.io (which was also diagrams.net for a little while but appears to be back to its original name) and mermaid, but this also looks interesting.
