Sounds like an interesting app. But I just wanted to comment that I don't need an account to use draw.io and I can download an xml of the diagram just fine from them. I noticed you didn't mention them in your comment, so perhaps they are not a competition?

Yeah not really competition as I see it. If you create graphs rarely or need to craft one manually then there are better tools out there.

Maybe my landing page is terrible, but you don’t need an account to download the npm package and start doing things locally.

That being said, I’m more interested in helping individuals who want to programmatically generate graphs - hundred+ updates to them per day, similar to how an APM/telemetry libs work. You instrument once and get the benefits of a real-time graph.
