This is so creative!
I never would've thought making a Latex for diagrams! I can't think of an immediate use case but this is really cool!

Re: Swimlanes.io – generated editable sequence diagrams
#32I would really like a sequence diagram that allow for diagonal arrows, not just horizontal ones. A message takes time to arrive to its destination and sometimes it's interesting what else could happen during this time, for example the backend sending another response to the requester. Also requests don't arrive to the destination in the exact order they where made. All of these are impossible to represent with horizo…
Apparently https://sequencediagram.org/ is what you want. It has "non-instantaneous message"

#34Prior art: 1. Plant UML: http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/umla/SoWkIImgAStDuNBCoKnELT... PlantUML supports many diagram types, and there's a nice VS Code plugin with side by side live preview. 2. https://www.websequencediagrams.com/ Has a hand-drawn style option which is nice: https://i.imgur.com/lh4jaVL.png
As we're listing alternatives, Lucidchart also supports generated UML Sequence Diagrams, which lets you use their GUI after generation to customize it / alter as desired

#35I'm curious: who made this? What stack? I couldn't find anything on the page.
I just see an entirely blank page. Chrome incognito mode.

Hi. I made this. Its mostly plain JS, all of the diagram, except the arrow heads, are simple div element

There's PGF/TikZ[1], but from what i've seen, it appears a bit clunky. These days I usually see packages which are basically convenience wrappers living above TikZ for common usecases (e.g. visualizing neural networks in papers)

#38I'll throw diagrams.net (formerly draw.io) into the discussion. Their UI is incredibly well designed/intuitive. Does swim lanes quite well - along with most other charts/diagrams... and there's a desktop version too.
draw.io is open-source and easily self-hostable, too.
And can be edited in VSCode

Hi! Thanks for replying. Is there any storage layer? Or is everything encoded in the URL?
Yes. There is a simple storage if you sign in with google/github
