I've been slowly adding some new free tools to Moxie Docs (partly for SEO, partly to illustrate some of our feature sets before any commitment) for some reason this mermaid editor one blew up on Google rankings so I figured I'd share in case people find it useful! We also have ADR, AGENTS.md, LLMs, and a few other free tools.

I found a tool called Next AI that links AI capabilities directly with diagrams. It lets you build and edit diagrams using natural language prompts instead of clicking around the canvas manually. It's a handy way to sketch out architecture when you don't want to drag every box yourself. The project is built on TypeScript with React 19 and Next.js. It supports multiple AI providers and even includes an MCP Server. This means you can use it with the Claude Code CLI to generate diagrams from your terminal. Deployment options are flexible too. You can run the tool locally with Docker or push it to Vercel and Cloudflare Workers. It supports multi provider setups so you can pick the backend that fits your workflow. #Nextjs #AI #Diagrams #TypeScript

the boring internal tool became the product we didn’t start with a saas idea. we were just annoyed that every agent-built UI looked weirdly related. so we made an internal finish gate: real screen references, a design contract, browser checks, and a ban list for generic AI defaults. one developer kept asking why it wasn’t public. eventually we stopped having a good answer. now UIZZE has a few paid users. builder disclosure: it’s mine, $9/mo or $99 lifetime: https://uizze.com current

Design working prototypes visually with a coding agent in real-time.

I am developing an alternative work environment to Claude Design. When I first tried Claude Design, I really liked the idea. But after generating a design, I kept wanting a more direct way to continue working on it not as a separate design representation, but as a live, working interface. That’s what I’m building with VisualWizard. The canvas contains real, interactive prototypes. You can select elements directly, move or resize them, change styles, and keep interactions and
