I learned about Monodraw from Thorsten Ball’s interpreter / compiler books. The book has really beautiful illustrations and ASCII drawings, when I asked the author they directed me to Monodraw

Here is a sample chapter from the book (in PDF) - https://compilerbook.com/sample.pdf

Ha! I was going to comment in here that I used Monodraw for the book and really fell in love with the tool.

What I did more recently is to use Monodraw to create diagrams of CFGs and put those next to the test cases (see [0] or [1]) which exercise those graphs - the power of ASCII, you can just copy the graphs into your code.
