Documentation as Code for Cloud Using PlantUML
Here's three interesting Rust projects that use plantuml
You can embed plantuml and drawio diagrams in Rust doc comments and have it rendered in the docs, using this crate
https://crates.io/crates/rsdoc
And you can generate plantuml from SQL tables using
https://crates.io/crates/sqlant (this one is a rust port of a go tool, https://github.com/achiku/planter)
And you can embed plantuml in mdbook
https://crates.io/crates/mdbook-plantuml

TIL: about Entity Relationship Schemas
You also have PlantUML. There exists an SQL generator for MySQL - not tested - and this utility for generating PlantUML ERD from PostgreSQL tables. This tool is more focussed on communication and allows you to draw large diagrams. However, you loose the sync between the diagram and the code base. You have the official PlantUML on-line drawer.

Plant UML – open-source UML Tool
I use Plant UML in combination with planter [1] to auto-generate a DB schema during CI runs.
Recently I see a lot general statements on HN like "UML is dead" which I think is not the case. Especially in complex, data-heavy projects it's a great way to visualize how things work -- if kept up-to-date and precise.

Ask HN: Tell us about your project that's not done yet but you want feedback on
KeenWrite is my free, open-source, cross-platform desktop Markdown editor that can produce beautifully typeset PDFs. I started working on it years ago to help write a novel that has a complex timeline and I couldn't find a text editor that would allow me to integrate a character sheet with the story itself.

Here's what I mean by using variables directly:

CommonMark doesn't propose a standard for bibliographic references. Would anyone find the editor more appealing if it had cross-references and citations?

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".

Interactive CommonMark Tutorial
Although not interactive, I've created a video series that shows advanced usage of Markdown. Namely R, external variables, diagrams, math, annotations, and a different approach to metadata:
* https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB-WIt1cZYLm1MMx2FBG9...
Tutorial 4 shows basic Markdown:

The top-right of each video shows keyboard and mouse clicks to help follow along.[1] My desktop text editor, KeenWrite[2], is used in the tutorials.

EchoSVG: SVG rasterizer library supporting level 4 selectors (Apache 2)
I didn't create the fork, nor am I affiliated with the project. I use it in my text editor, KeenWrite to rasterize SVG.

Millions of dollars in time wasted making papers fit journal guidelines
KeenWrite Themes[1] are instructions that tell ConTeXt how to typeset XHTML documents (content) into PDF files (presentation). I made a tutorial that shows how my FOSS desktop text editor, KeenWrite[3], allows users to write in Markdown to typeset a document against a particular theme.
Before it can be used for scientific papers, it needs cross-references, which, unfortunately, aren't part of the CommonMark specification.
I posit that the vast majority of LaTeX users don't grok how to separate content from presentation. When I asked a question on TeX.SE about how to adjust the line spacing between enumerated items (spanning a couple dozen enumerated lists), the vast majority of people voted for the answer of using `\itemsep0em` to tweak each list ... individually.[4] The correct answer, IMO, is to fix the problem globally, and not waste time tweaking individual lists.
