Astah Viewer is now on Gadget!

Introducing another option to view Astah diagrams!

My colleague and one of Astah development members, Sho Ito (@shoito) has created an “Astah Viewer” OpenSocial Gadget called “Astah Viewer Gadget”. You can view diagram images created by Astah such as UML, ERD, Mind Map, Requirement diagrams and others on a Gadget on iGoogle, infoScoop or any other services you can use Open Social gadgets with.

Adding Astah Viewer Gadget on iGoogle

2. Upload your .asta files on Astah Publish (Go to http://p.astah.net/ or click the image below and then drag and drop your .asta file inside the center, it automatically uploads all the diagrams and then gives you a URL.)
