Ilograph is what all these diagram-as-code tools should aspire to. It's ability to contextualize is unlike anything I've seen.

wow, I'm just walking through the demo linked by Veuxdo and that's exactly what I was thinking: each step in the walkthrough drills context down deeper or widens context in a very clear way.

I've tried to do similar things in graphviz but pulling out individual subgraphs or subsets of nodes + edges isn't easy and I always end up with multiple files for each view that I want to show and they get out of sync.

This looks great, but I'm not terribly jazzed about having my diagrams permanently hosted on a third-party site. I know it's hard to make self-hosted interactive diagrams like this, but I'd like my documentation to last longer than this site.

Yeah, self-hosting is a bit of a nightmare. There is a Desktop version that allows you to export diagrams to HTML, which you then can be host or share.

Very interesting tool! Could you render Ilograph yaml files to HTML in a CI job?

Thanks! Yes, you can using the export API (paid): https://www.ilograph.com/export-api/

The Desktop version can also export diagrams when called via CLI, though that is less suitable for CI/CD.

Oh, that's actually an excellent solution, thanks!

feel free to submit a PR to make comparisons against tools on text-to-diagram.com, happy to include you Billy!

Is Ilograph open source?

Only a small part of it: the standard diagramming libraries (or, presently, library): https://github.com/billy-pilger/ilograph-standard-libraries

It looks amazing for exploring arbitrary graphs. Do you have plans to open any part of the diagramming engine?

It's not!

This looks amazing, thank you
