Any thoughts on support for textual representation of the diagrams?

What do you mean by textual? Like ascii art?

In general I’d love to be able to export this to some non-web format, but I just don’t know any that fit given that there’s 3 dimensions (layers of the diagram, scenarios for each layer, and frames for each scenario). All the formats only support linear traversal (eg pdf pages, gif frames). Exporting as a directory of files viewed as a tree hierarchy is the closest I can think of.

He means using a language to generate diagrams. (I use a personal tool that has a LISP-like language to generate simple block diagrams in JavaFX for myself).

Ah. Yeah if this is something people use and I can support myself with it, I would love to work on adding that.

Every couple years I go through the exercise of trying to find the right solution like d3.js, mermaid, or dot and graphviz to automatically generate diagrams like you're creating here. Every couple years I continue to be disappointed.
