Interesting. I have been spending a lot of time with Mermaidjs for the last year or so and love it but not around ERDs because of the inability to map field relationships the way I want. I will check this out.

#52*Love* monodraw. The last 2 times i was on the job market I used monodraw extensively for little inline diagrams for my take-home projects. It always was a big hit with the reviewers.

#53OMG this is one of my favorite tools paid for it all the way back when it went out. Have used it so many times just to write documentation for things like: https://github.com/ivank/potygen/blob/main/packages/potygen/... ASCII is just so versatile and allows you to put nice graphics in places where one does not expect, making things more easily understandable.
You should select the lines you'd like to show off and link that.

#54I've used this in the past and enjoyed it. My one complaint, if I recall, is that you have to use its own built in file format to maintain all the cool features like anchors and resizable boxes and stuff. You can't just point at at an ASCII drawing in a markdown document and get all the functionality for free. I suspect if someone really wanted to they could crack that through clever algorithms and LLMs - and I've ex…
Interesting take. Do you have a lot of existing diagrams you'd like to manage? If I'm starting from scratch, I would sort of expect/want to have the abstract file format like this, seeing it as like a PSD, and the output as a rendered, flat image like PNG. Or source code vs. binary. Parsing an output artifact back into a more semantic and abstract form is hard to get perfect, I would imagine.

#55Why isn't there a good CLI tool for specifying and rendering these?
I'm imagining something like dot -Tascii

I've been using PlantUML, having come from using GraphViz.
I can't tell is has any relation to this. I use it to generate SVGs in Maven documentation site builds.
Re: Monodraw
#58I love this tool. This is one of those that you buy it and keep it, even if you use it once a while.
Have you had this for a long time, or are you speculating that it’s the type of software you like? This looks very cool to me, though. If you have used it, can you share how you’ve used the generated diagrams? I can imagine a screenshot of the diagram, but the raw text would probably be too big in (e.g. a terminal).
I bought license to Monodraw in 2018 and have used it off and on since, so I can attest to GP

#59How accessible are these diagrams to screen readers?
Re: Monodraw
#60Awesome tool I purchased when I stumbled upon it. I draw flowcharts for complex implementations in ASCII using Monodraw and embed them in source code.
