This is awesome.

I hadn't heard of D2, but I love the idea that I can create my charts directly in Neovim in the terminal to get a rough draft, and do a final render with a pretty picture.

I will be playing with this shortly.





D2 already supports a live-updating HTTP server serving a live-updating .svg, so if you tile a browser with vim, you can already get live-updates.

I discovered D2 about a year ago, and I use it for all of my diagrams now.


Yeah but that doesn't feel nearly as nerdy and cool :)

There's a sort of elegance to ASCII rendering.


I typically use Moondraw for ASCII diagrams but this is pretty great for when you're already in Vim.
