  3. mermaid

    Generation of diagrams like flowcharts or sequence diagrams from text in a similar manner as markdown

    I don't see the infrastructure for that, rather it seems to be relying on d3 and DAG renderers targeting it https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/blob/mermaid%4011.6.0/...

  4. d2

    D2 is a modern diagram scripting language that turns text to diagrams.

    They were working on a wasm version some time ago I believe [0]. Not sure how usable this is insofar, but it may be of interest.

    [0]: https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/pull/436/files

  5. sqliteviz

    SQLite database schema diagrams (by dgoffredo)

    If it's sqlite compatible, then there a many solutions. In general it's trickier.

    plug: https://github.com/dgoffredo/sqliteviz

    Not web based, though.

  6. d2-playground

    An online runner to play, learn, and create with D2, the modern diagram scripting language that turns text to diagrams.

    https://play.d2lang.com/ loads https://play.d2lang.com/d2.wasm so presumably "all done"

  7. excalidraw

    Virtual whiteboard for sketching hand-drawn like diagrams
