history

Project history and usage

Diagram is a Go command-line application for turning ASCII-art sketches into hand-drawn PNG diagrams. Its niche is the overlap between terminal diagramming, rough sketch aesthetics, and quick documentation assets.

Project history

The public GitHub repository was created in 2017, matching the README copyright year. The README describes Diagram as a full CLI application with an editor, preview window, zooming and panning, file management, and direct command-line conversion from input text to output PNG.

Adoption history

Diagram is packaged for Homebrew and advertised from its own README with a `brew install diagram` path, which puts it in the small family of diagramming tools installable as normal Unix command-line utilities rather than desktop drawing applications.

How it is used

Package users typically feed an ASCII diagram to `diagram -in sample.txt -out sample.png`, optionally disabling preview or selecting a handwriting font. That makes it useful for quick README illustrations, sketches, and local documentation workflows.

Why package nerds care

For package collectors, Diagram is interesting because it packages a visual, GUI-adjacent workflow as a single CLI: text in, generated image out, with a terminal UI available when interactive editing is wanted.

Timeline

  • 2017: GitHub repository created and README copyright year.
  • 2025: v1.1.0 release published on GitHub.

Related projects

  • The README says its ASCII-to-PNG conversion was ported from `shaky.dart`, and lists Go UI/graphics dependencies including gocui, gg, and gioui.
