I recommend IPE for this sort of thing (unless you need exactly this).
It's by far the best diagramming tool for Latex.

#12Oh wow, this would have been amazing for those Abstract Algebra courses way back when.

#13Interesting choice of name. i was looking for such a tool. Gui are still limited in 2020
Unfortunate name collision with the macOS/iOS note taking app Quiver [1] which doesn't do diagrams, but does do LaTeX.

quiver is great. Basically Mac's Notes but for programmers.

#15This looks like a really nice and well-made tool. Kudos and thanks for open sourcing! One nitpick: Why do you use a Makefile without using any of the features of Make and then even requiring a special GNUMake feature to make things work like a shell script? Why not simply provide shell scripts in the first place?
I do this too, my reasons are:
* It's an old habit, I'm used to handwriting my own Makefiles for every project, and every time I start a new project it's an instinct to create a .gitignore and Makefile
* There is always a possibility of needing make features in the future. Like nowadays my makefiles have `make build` recipe which builds docker containers via docker-compose and a `make run` that depends on `build` and then shells into that container.
* make is easier to use than shell scripts since you can just do `make ` to run your command

Actually it does diagrams, sequence and flowchart.
Sadly, the app has gotten more or less no development for at least 4 years and the developer has stopped responding to bug reports for at least a year. It's abandonware at this point.

#17There is also https://github.com/yishn/tikzcd-editor which I have used a few times.

Ipe is a lovely piece of software. I use it a lot and always feel that it deserves to be more well-known.
I do not find it especially good for commutative diagrams, though. I usually type tikz-cd code for those cases.
