This is built on https://github.com/google/typograms, which is awesome.

Nice. I mostly use mermaid which is built into obsidian, but I could definitely see this ascii representation being useful as well since even in the unrendered form (pre-svg transformation), it's still WYSIWYG.

Nice, but I never use the preview mode. The edit mode being 99% like the prevew mode is what I most like about Obsidian.

But then, I think all diagram extensions work on that basis.

This is awesome! There are a few other text to diagram language out there, but this seems to support straight up drawing via text.

Very powerful given the flexibility.

I also dislike how fiddly it appears with whitespace and general verbosity to explicitly define paths between nodes and such.

Love seeing how the community continues to build on the idea of Obsidian.

Nice. As a side note, I find that Claude 3.5 Sonnet is pretty good at drawing similar ASCII diagrams from prompts.

I need to give this plugin a try, even though I already use too many

BTW here are my favorite plugins: https://www.dsebastien.net/2022-10-19-the-must-have-obsidian...

I’ve always been a fan of ASCII diagrams—partly because I can ask tools like Claude or ChatGPT to generate them for me quickly. Lately, I’ve noticed that Claude even supports generating diagrams in Mermaid format.

Would love to see apps like Lucidchart or similar tools to generate diagrams directly from prompts. A sort of hybrid between visual diagramming and the simplicity of text-based input. It feels like the next natural step for diagramming tools to embrace AI integration like this.
