Is Ilograph open source?

Only a small part of it: the standard diagramming libraries (or, presently, library): https://github.com/billy-pilger/ilograph-standard-libraries

It looks amazing for exploring arbitrary graphs. Do you have plans to open any part of the diagramming engine?

Ilograph is what all these diagram-as-code tools should aspire to. It's ability to contextualize is unlike anything I've seen.

wow, I'm just walking through the demo linked by Veuxdo and that's exactly what I was thinking: each step in the walkthrough drills context down deeper or widens context in a very clear way.
I've tried to do similar things in graphviz but pulling out individual subgraphs or subsets of nodes + edges isn't easy and I always end up with multiple files for each view that I want to show and they get out of sync.

This looks great, but I'm not terribly jazzed about having my diagrams permanently hosted on a third-party site. I know it's hard to make self-hosted interactive diagrams like this, but I'd like my documentation to last longer than this site.

Yeah, self-hosting is a bit of a nightmare. There is a Desktop version that allows you to export diagrams to HTML, which you then can be host or share.

Oh, that's actually an excellent solution, thanks!

Very interesting project! Could you render Ilograph yaml files to HTML in a CI job?

Thanks! Yes, you can using the export API (paid): https://www.ilograph.com/export-api/
The Desktop version can also export diagrams when called via CLI, though that is less suitable for CI/CD.
