This is awesome! Any chance it can somehow output to a text based chart?

This is basically what has been preventing me from using https://monodraw.helftone.com/ - i didn't want to draw simple flowcharts. If this can output text for a sane price, you've got a customer!

(though, i would prefer an offline app, fwiw)

By text-based do you mean ascii-art? Right now you can output graphics alongside with text to PNG, PDF or SVG - https://code2flow.com/8qRgzO.code.png https://code2flow.com/8qRgzO.code.pdf https://code2flow.com/8qRgzO.code.svg

Yea i meant Ascii art - Monodraw is an amazing program, and as much as i want to buy it, i haven't because i don't want to draw the flow charts.

Your solution is something i've literally talked about here before, so it's welcome to see! But i still need/want ascii. I suppose i don't need it.. i just like being able to view things in CLI/etc.
