This is neat! I might actually be using this soon.

On a related note, CS professor John Regehr recently collected a bunch of ASCII-art diagrams from various source code into a blog post [0]. (The relation is that I had initially thought Kroki would be for things like this due to a faulty assumption of what the title meant by "plain text diagrams".)

Thanks for sharing this blog post. Svgbob is doing a pretty good job at converting those diagrams:

Oh wow, that's super cool! I'll have to tell John about that! I know he posted a follow-up tweet where he was playing with converting them using another tool, I think [0]. Neat stuff for sure.
