Gleek diagram maker

Add diagrams to Azure DevOps stories and tasks

Gleek.io is a free diagramming tool entirely focused on developer needs and preferences. Gleek is all about speed over perfection. The idea is that devs should stop wasting time perfecting the look of their diagrams, and instead clearly communicate their ideas with as few keystrokes as possible.

This extension enables users to create a diagram and have it embedded right in the description of the work item.
