I saw “C4 Models” on the front page of HN. Decided to investigate further and noticed it was a recently developed diagramming paradigm.

I watched this talk by the author 4 years ago and was impressed with the ease of use and understanding. As well as the ability to develop your own notation.

I am building another new project soon and will use this modeling system to design the high level overview.

Has anybody tried using this recently? Did other devs or stakeholders easily understand what you were trying to build given these diagrams?

C4 is used at my company, and I am quite happy with it. There is also a open source DSL called Structurizr to create the diagrams in various formats.
