Hi everyone - I've updated the website, fixed all the bugs and migrated it over to a new React framework with new added functionality. I have also included screenshots of results and a demo video of what to expect upon signing up.

Is this a pipe to mermaid.js [0]? The syntax is pretty easy and there is also a live editor [1]; what's the value-add to justify $20? [0] https://mermaid.js.org/intro/ https://mermaid.js.org/intro/ [1] https://mermaid.live https://mermaid.live

Shameless plug - made a very similar app (no sign-in): https://autodiagram.vercel.app/ https://autodiagram.vercel.app/

  You get 10+ points from me for being able to try it out without the hassle of creating an account and logging in.

  Nice, thank you. The diagrams were correct but the choices of colors, line widths and fonts have room for improvement.

    Great to hear it was helpful! What did you try to generate? Agree the formatting is not great. The tool is not intended to be 'perfect', with respect to formatting or to content, so if I continue working on this, I think the most useful step would be to add "export to Figma" -- and let you tweak there. I think this is most useful as a very fast prototyping tool.

  Is this open source? What model does this use? This is mind blowing.

I think a few screenshots and examples would go a long way. Having to sign up just to see what the product is.. isn’t a great experience. Also, wasn’t able to use the site on mobile.

  I was going to comment the exact same thing I'm asked to sign in way too many times already, at least give me a hint of what I'm supposed to get in exchange or I'm going to err on the side of closing the tab

  Yes, show me what it does before asking to register.

Meta topic: How does such low quality submissions comes to main page when so many of good quality submissions struggle to show up? I'm not implying any fraud or anything but genuinely wants to understand how "SEO" on HN works.

  Automatic flowcharts using natural language is clearly very desirable tool, hence a lot of clicks and comments.

Next time you deploy to production, remove the references to websockets you have on develop. That website looks totally scammy BTW. It reminds me of something similarly scammy I saw on Reddit yesterday. Dreamsands, anyone?
