Do you use concept mapping tools? Maybe pen-n-paper work well for you, but sometimes, you may want to represent something in digital format. Lots of great tools for that. here's a roundup of some of my favorites!

I use #figma quite extensively in my job to produce technical diagrams, and my familiarity with the software from that has made me more inclined to use it for concept diagramming.
I've never heard of #figma! I wil have to check that one out. Thanks for the tip! You have any sample creations you're willing to share with the world? ;-) @_foxaru @edutooters
@mguhlin @_foxaru @edutooters isn't #figma the app recently bought by Adobe?
@docbrown @_foxaru @edutooters Yikes, $20B acquisition - https://www.cmswire.com/digital-experience/how-does-adobes-20b-acquisition-of-figma-impact-ux-designers/
Er, I won't be using that anytime soon. 💰
@mguhlin @_foxaru @edutooters definitely an interesting move on Adobe's part but the valuation? 20B?!?! Yikes is right. I'm guessing the owners of Canva are shedding a tear right now.
@docbrown @mguhlin @_foxaru @edutooters Adobe has made quite a few odd decisions lately. Making Captivate Intel processor compatible only was a weird move, and had me scrambling in the middle of an Instructional Design project for class, to find a viable alternative.
@docbrown @mguhlin @_foxaru @edutooters being from the Figma Community myself you can easily understand their price point.
Figma is everything Adobe isn’t: light, simple, open-ended and very driven by free resource sharing, and that made it so they got something like 50% of the Product Design market in the last 6 years since they launched their first public beta. Adobe is investing in their secret sauce, they want to learn from their model using their resources.
@mguhlin @docbrown @_foxaru @edutooters I know I’m biased but Figma is still free fro personal use and you can expect it to be so for at least a year or two.

Unfortunately nothing I could share without doxing myself!
I do have a recent #excalidraw diagram I made to try and work through a python database interface I've been working on recently though: Excalidraw is another excellent suggestion.
