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.

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.
