Comments and Reviews
A nice way to create diagrams using a prescriptive language. It is very powerful so can be a little daunting at first, but give it time.
There are many apps that this can be integrated into, negating the need to setup a development environment.
For example: VSCode/Codium or even a WYSIWYG Test editor (using Markdown) like Typora. I've not used it before but am really enjoying the journey so far.
