Sorry, I'm just annoyed about the demo .gif. Why is it not a video I can watch full-screen? I want to actually see the text. Why is there a huge empty border around the window? Otherwise, the shown workflow seems nice. I'll check out the syntax to see what it brings in comparison to DOT. Thank you.

Demo gif is not annoying per se, but UX is awful: not only I can't see anything on a FullHD monitor, I needed two right clicks to get to the actual .gif, I still needed to go to a fullscreen view to see the text, it is still ends too soon and I have no way to pause/stop the playback. I saw a no border version (why was it recorded with a border in the first place?), but still the left part could be easily half the size, it would integrate nicely in the GH page. If you increase the notes font than it would be (probably) legible even on GH. I think it's a classical example of 'works for me'. But anyway, is there are plans for Win* release?

> a video I can watch full-screen Plus controls. This is a separate rant, but for incomprehensible reasons, Chrome removed the ability to even enable controls for animated GIFs. So if I miss some detail I was interested in, I can't rewind. I have to wait for it to loop around again. And when it does come back up, I can't pause there; instead, I have to frantically try to memorize what I saw. Also, I don't know the length, so I don't know if it's worth my time investment to wait for it to loop.

Whoops, sorry. I opened https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/issues/140 https://github.com/terrastruct/d2/issues/140 to address. For now, we zoomed the gif in so you can see it better. And we added a syntax example front and center.
