Notion vs PlantUML

Notion is a single space where you can think, write, and plan. Capture thoughts, manage projects, or even run an entire company.

PlantUML is a tool that allows users to generate diagrams from textual descriptions. It supports a wide range of diagram types, including sequence diagrams, class diagrams, and state diagrams. Users can write their diagram descriptions in a simple, human-readable syntax, and PlantUML will generate the corresponding diagram.
