:white_check_mark: What is sequencer?

Sequencer allows you to create simple and clear sequence diagrams, based on a simple grammar. Your diagram is drawn in real-time as you type, and is designed to be:

• easy to edit
• easy to share
• easy to version control

Sequencer is free and open-source, distributed as a single .exe (no installer), and has just the features you need to share and document your idea quickly.

See the Grammar page on the wiki for details of the current grammar.
