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. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** diagram - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [pkgconf](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pkgconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [clang-uml](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/clang-uml/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. - [ditaa](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ditaa/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ascii-art, cli, developer-tools, diagramming. - [dpic](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dpic/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. - [likec4](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/likec4/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. - [msc-generator](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/msc-generator/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. - [sdedit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sdedit/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. - [svgbob](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/svgbob/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. - [umlet](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/umlet/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. - [eralchemy](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/eralchemy/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
