This morning, a day in the office like any other I was drinking coffee and going trough Facebook posts when suddenly a cool diagram appeared. Mark Zuckerberg had posted this diagram explaining how the communication with the ISS was made in order for Facebook to broadcast the first ever Facebook Live video from Space. There were other live broadcasts from space before so nothing really special but the diagram was very cool and sort of familiar.
Original diagram that Mark Zuckerberg posted
Something about that diagram was very familiar to our team so we started to wonder if there is a chance it was made with Grafio. Being the makers of Grafio someone like Mark using our App would have been so awesome for us.
Btw. Our team is from Bulgaria and the internet says Mark has Bulgarian heritage and was even named after his grandfather “Marko” . So it would not be such a coincidence if he is using Bulgarian software ? Right?
All jokes aside I grabbed an iPad and 20 minutes later I had replicated this exact diagram in Grafio. Here it is.
You can download it from our examples page and edit it in Grafio.
Is Mark using Grafio?
Answering the question we were asking our team. Is Mark Zuckerberg indeed using Grafio or is he using another diagramming app. When you compare the two images obviously the colors are different. The icon of the ISS is also different. Other than that it’s an absolutely identical diagram. It might very well be made in Grafio. But we can’t answer if it was or it isn’t for sure.
No matter what the answer is what’s important here is that diagrams are a great way to explain stuff and you should make more of them.
