I tend to stay away from Graphviz a lot more than I otherwise would these days due to the lack of manual formatting controls (have spent waaaayyy too many hours writing code to add invisible edges between certain nodes to force row-ordered layouts).

The standard implementation does not have debug mode. Reverse engineering GV by reading the 90's style c code is not fun either.

I'll pick one of the open source licenses once the project is more useful.

Hah, that's hilarious. I also like graphs but hate manually laying them out, so I always use Graphviz and live with the results. Sometimes I think I could do better, but typing "foo -> bar" a few times is so much easier than spending any time thinking about what would look nicest. One time I added colors though, that was kind of nice.

Why imply WASM and a browser? I guess running a benchmark of the two binaries on a host should be sufficient.

#9I have always loved graphviz/dot and watching the rise of mermaid and other tools is encouraging that there's more competition in the ecosystem.
But man, endlessly fiddling to fix the layouts is time I'd like back in my life
