You can use graphs in gitlab comments!

Since GitLab 10.3. you can use Mermaid Show archive.org snapshot in GitLab comments: Gitlab Doc Show archive.org snapshot .
With Mermaid you can create diagrams based on text / code.

Sometimes a picture says more than thousand words and can help you express your thoughts more clearly.

Some Examples from the Mermaid documentation:

Flowcharts

graph TD;
    A-->B;

    C-->D;
