svgbobrus VS perseus

I recently had to draw some diagrams for documenting something. After looking at various Markdown-friendly options I landed on svgbob[1]. I believe it's a superior solution to these kinds of graph drawing tools for Markdown for one specific reason: the code is still readable. When I go to look at a Markdown file I don't always open the output. I will commonly open up a README file in Vim or just cat it to the terminal. In this case diagrams like those in this post is next to useless. I'm not going to read through some complex drawing definitions and try to visualise the results. With svgbob (or Typograms[2] or any of the other similar options) you can still read the Markdown text document and see the diagrams which is great!

Of course this comes with a tradeoff, drawing the diagrams can be a bit of a pain. But I believe this can be solved by a good Markdown editor or editor plugin. Alternatively a spec like this could be converted into an svgbob-compatible diagram.

Online playground svgbob-editor is also updated to use the latest version of svgbob. It is however a painfully slow to edit the diagrams from there, so it's better if you draw the diagram somwhere else and paste it to there.

There’s Svgbob. Plus when it comes to more complex diagrams or graphs where creating the ASCII art by hand in can be quite finicky, there’s a number of tools (including drawing tools) to make creating ASCII art much easier.

svgbob

Since the post contains ASCII art, let me recommend you svgbob :)

The app can now render Svgbob code blocks (https://ivanceras.github.io/svgbob-editor).

The best part is that it doesn’t use a virtual DOM for its reactivity, which can lead to a significant increase in performance.  Perseus not only inherits some of the best aspects of existing web frameworks but also strives to surpass them. Perseus went stable on April 9, 2023 after one year of beta development -- this is just the beginning!

I actually made a small sample project some weeks ago using Axum + Perseus + Sycamore. The purpose was to show, that also unocss was possible instead of tailwindcss. But I recommend tailwindcss for now, because there is an easy to use Perseus Plugin for it. https://gitlab.com/kibsi-perseus-examples/perseus-sycamore-rest-example-unocss But it could maybe be of interest to you. There are also the official Perseus examples: https://github.com/framesurge/perseus/tree/main/examples/core

Perseus is a web development framework for the Rust programming language. https://framesurge.sh/perseus/en-US/

Perseus is a pure Rust web development framework with support for static site generation, server-side rendering, client-side rendering, reactive state, internationalization, capsules (sometimes called an 'islands architecture'), seamless deployment, custom API routes, and so much more! And, after a year of beta versions, v0.4.0 of it just went stable!

Personally, I would go for Perseus. https://framesurge.sh/perseus/en-US
