D2 Playground
Pikchr https://pikchr.org/home/pikchrshow is the other general purpose one and older than d2. It is "Source-Code License: 0-clause BSD" as it says on the page.
Someone made it into wasm and put playground for pikchr here https://www.jakethaw.com/pikchr_webassembly_demo/
Can also try pikchr online here on https://kroki.io/#try which is hosting many other text to diagram tools as well.

Mermaid Chart, a Markdown-like tool for creating diagrams, raises $7.5M
I use mermaid.js heavily, but plug for Kroki:

Nomnoml
If you don't mind my asking, what aspects of "acceptable layout" is usually the first to get busted?
I'm extremely excited about using WireViz[1] to automate wiring harness diagram creation, and if I can, I'd like to know the speedbumps before I hit them. I'm thinkin generous linking between diagrams will be one path.

Documentation as Code for Cloud Using PlantUML
My cross-platform desktop text editor, KeenWrite, allows users to define variables in an external YAML file. The editor calls out to Kroki[1] to convert text-based diagrams to SVG. The diagrams can reference variables and are rendered using EchoSVG[2].
KeenWrite[3] can produce PDF documentation from Markdown documents that has PlantUML diagrams with elements stored in an external, machine-readable file. Here are screenshots showing variables on the left, diagram text in the middle, and a real-time render on the right:

KeenWrite supports all diagrams offered by Kroki, which includes "diagram-plantuml".

Entity Relationship Diagrams
plantuml is amongst the best there is. kroki.io has a sandbox for it mermaid.js can do it in notion, it works as well as any other mermaid. dbvisualizer is fantastic if you have an existing schema in a db instance. you may need the trial license to render the diagrams

New ChatGPT diagram plugin
I created a diagramming plugin for fun. This one uses kroki.io to generate diagrams rather than only Mermaid. I've also added a "network" type which gets rendered via networkx and matplotlib on the backend. I would love any feedback if anybody finds it useful or interesting, or issues.

Why note-taking apps don’t make us smarter
I can't recommend the Zettlekasten Method enough: https://zettelkasten.de/introduction/
You can do it with index cards or you can use software to practice the method and grow your note collection. I now prefer Zettlr (https://www.zettlr.com) after using Joplin (https://joplinapp.org), which are both FOSS.
One of the core strategies of the Zettlekasten Method is to link notes to each other. That's how knowledge grows: connections and synthesis (internalization/application of the connections)
Here's a 3-year-old video on the method that serves as a good primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFZHuWLA09M

Notion alternative: AppFlowy vs Outline vs Affine?
I discovered recently [logseq](https://logseq.com/) and it's beautiful. I use quite a lot Zettlr for taking notes on concepts and ideas but I have to say that logseq has become my starting point for daily, short, notes and tasks. I need to work on an integration with Zettlr however, I like the possibility of the latter to organize and connect the texts, especially convenient when writing essays.

I read the top ten Zettelkasten articles on Hacker News so you can do something more wholesome with your day
GitLab software engineer Tomas Vik runs through the slip-box method, based on Sönke Ahrens's book, How to Take Smart Notes. He recommends creating individual plain text (markdown) files and gives clear examples of how this is structured. He used Zettlr as his markdown-enabled text editor of choice, but mentions alternative apps that do similar things. As a bonus, there's a follow-up post a year later, in which the author describes how his process has changed (not much) and why he now uses Logseq instead of Zettlr.
