About:
Diagram transforms static ASCII art diagrams into visually appealing, hand-drawn style sketches. It parses text-based flowcharts and diagrams, applying a randomized, organic styling to lines and text for a more natural appearance. This tool enhances documentation and terminal outputs by making technical diagrams more engaging and readable.

Key Features:

Converts ASCII flowcharts to hand-drawn style
Customizable stroke width and roughness
Supports both terminal and image file outputs
Lightweight and fast processing

Use Cases:

Enhancing technical documentation with visually appealing diagrams
Creating engaging diagrams for presentations or blog posts
Adding a creative touch to terminal-based flowcharts

Alternatives:

ditaa – Similar concept but Java-based and produces pixel-style diagrams instead of hand-drawn
monodraw – Mac-only GUI application with more features but not CLI-based
