Was just looking at BPMN.io tools: a BPMN and DMN diagram rendering engine. Really nice work. Badgeware license though.
What are you using BPMN for?

#12Anyone know of a good tool that will generate some annotations in Python code (maybe docstrings??) to similar diagrams?
Googling brings up a few but nothing that looks super promising.

Lots of stuff. Lately for certificate management workflows: orchestrating all the people and processes involved in the creation and maintenance of public keys and certificates, renewals, revocations, etc.

#14I would love an AI-enabled chat bot that transforms text -> diagrams. Diagram creation could still be a lot easier.
For example: "I want to show that the causes of burnout are the following 5 categories: 1) lack of purpose, 2) community breakdown, 3) ... " -> and then that gets turned into a diagram. Then an update like: "make lack of purpose more prominent" and it increases in size.
I would even settle for a transformer that converts natural language to one of the diagram syntax languages in the OP link.

#15hi, I'm Alex at Terrastruct and we made this. we just launched D2 last week, where this site was brought up plenty, so I didn't expect this to come up again. happy to answer q's if any.
(we're working on a playground so that this site's examples can be runnable!)
i'll also use this opportunity to plug that this next release of D2 is going to be packed with features/improvements/fixes that came from feedback received on HN from the launch:

Here is one that is missing: https://github.com/mlajtos/moniel
Diagrams lets you draw the cloud system architecture in Python code.

whoa nice list! (ty for not naming it another awesome-something lol). xosh.org one is what we used as a starting point to find and try out every text-to-diagram tool when we were doing research for D2. i don't think they're maintained anymore, but we included a link to them in our README anyway too.

#18If you want to integrate both text and freeform diagramming, the diagrams.net tool will support embedding Mermaid:
https://www.diagrams.net/blog/mermaid-diagrams
They're not editable afterward, but it sometimes comes in handy if you want to render them out as an image for a document/presentation.

Terrastruct offers this too, with the bonus that the freeform changes get saved to the text: https://youtu.be/EhxVVkxv2Ns?t=128
(it is a paid product though, whereas diagrams.net is free)

Diagrams.net also supports plantuml and you can edit them afterwards.
