I get a sense of deja vu. There was another such project posted within the last 3 months, and another within last 6 months. I should have bookmarked them, because at least one of them was an open library (I think).
I love ASCII diagrams! The fact that I can write a diagram that looks equally wonderful in my terminal via cat as it does rendered on my website is incredible.
A good monospaced font and they can look really sharp!
I will definitely give this tool a shot.
I will also shout out monodraw as a really nice little application for building generic ASCII diagrams- https://monodraw.helftone.com/
I've had issues with other CLI wrappers there. ASCII output is a nice touch for including diagrams directly in code comments without breaking formatting. Does it handle large graphs well, or does the text wrap get messy? We tried using `graph-easy` for this before but the syntax was annoying. 6.
The devs should really setup a client-only GitHub Pages for an accessible demo. Judging from skimming the project itself, it's definitely doable without locking into their platform.

The last time I checked, Mermaid couldn't render subgraphs in a different direction than the overall graph.
