HN comment orderI'm way more impressed by some of those ASCII charts than I am of the SVG conversion. The one that looks like a temperature scale from 2011-2016 is super cool.
This is so good. It makes making documentation with diagrams a less painful process. I would love to see some integration with asciidoctor.
Author here and I'm surprise to see this here. I haven't maintained this elm version. I've created a rust version[0] and it's practical usage incorporated into markdown[1]. A MacOS app can be downloaded [2]. Pay what you want so I can improve the app in the future.
