SurveyJS
Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
Factoriolab is an up to date calculator with a visualisation: https://factoriolab.github.io
I've used a combination of three mods to help planning.
Rate Calculator lets you select an already-built area and shows you its input and outputs, Factory Planner is pretty neat too with its matrix solver.
Both of those in combination with the Blueprint Lab have been great. Build out the base of your factory in it, save a blueprint, then actually build in your map.

These aren't really diagramming, but I hope they can help.
Foreman 2.0 https://github.com/DanielKote/Foreman2 is robust Factorio diagramming app. It's capable of creating rather large diagrams, such as this [1] one of an entire Seablock factory.
Another one I like to use for quick diagramming is Factorio Lab [2], which is a web app.
