Pikchr https://pikchr.org/home/pikchrshow is the other general purpose one and older than d2. It is "Source-Code License: 0-clause BSD" as it says on the page.

If you don't mind my asking, what aspects of "acceptable layout" is usually the first to get busted? I'm extremely excited about using WireViz[1] to automate wiring harness diagram creation, and if I can, I'd like to know the speedbumps before I hit them. I'm thinkin generous linking between diagrams will be one path. [1] Project:: https://github.com/wireviz/WireViz [select Diagram>WireViz]. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
