Can you import existing C4 models/diagrams into this?

What format are you thinking? We import Structurizr workspace JSON files, which can be exported from the DSL.

In my case, PlantUML.

We don't import PlantUML directly yet, but something we can look at.

That'd be pretty cool!

I'm curious what JavaScript/React libraries do you use to generate your lines and boxes visuals?

Cool! Does PixiJS draw the arrows and boxes and stuff for you or did you have to implement that yourself?

PixiJS is a bit lower level, it has some primitive shapes like line/box but we draw most things ourselves.
