Diagram is a CLI tool to generate hand drawn diagrams from ASCII arts.
It's a full featured CLI application which converts the ASCII text into hand drawn diagrams. The CLI part is based on gocui and the ascii to png conversion is done using the gg library.
$ go get github.com/esimov/diagram
$ go install
# Start the application
$ diagramA shell script is included to watch the output folder changes and automatically open the generated png files, however inotifywait is required for Linux distribution. To install on Ubuntu please run:
sudo apt install inotify-toolsThen you can use the provided shell script by typing $ ./watch.

The app was tested on Ubuntu and MacOS, but on Mac the panels are not selectables with clicks.
