TBBQF I have no idea what the value proposition of this project is actually supposed to be.
Edit: It seems to have almost 100% feature overlap with graphviz, but it is a paid SaaS? I don't get it...
Edit 2: This has to be a troll post. "Up to 3 graphs" for free --are you kidding me? I can run `dot` a million times in a second for free
Yeah I’ll admit, that isn’t clear. I used DOT to test it a while back and opened that up for folks who also wanted to mess with DOT, but that isn’t the value prop today.
You can create and render as many graphs as you like with the package offline - only the real-time sync is limited.

Why wouldn't I just use graphviz then?
Just so you know, I find this terribly confusing. You see the homepage with your code, then you think "oh, I'll try this editor here..." and then it turns out it's Dot? All examples are written in Dot? Why? Didn't it say "no DSLs"? Didn't it show some TypeScript in the homepage?
It can very easily make people get the wrong idea about what your project is.
