This does look quite nice in terms of aesthetics, but rendering it anywhere on the web is going to involve a fair amount of work (exporting manually, and committing to Git, which means diagram and source gets out of sync… or automated via CI, which is naturally some work).
Also the fact it’s behind a paywall makes it a non-starter for most surely? Especially when there are open source tools such as Mermaid that are free and get the job done, albeit it perhaps not as flexible, I’ve not had any issues making architecture diagrams with it.

I looked into terrastruct for software requirements work but the price model was insane. I miss the days when you could buy software. Now everything has to be fucking SAAS.
I’ll stick with DOT and PlantUML, thanks
