Show HN: Reladraw – A diagram language where you decide where to place things

Reladraw is a text-based diagram language, currently at version 0.8.1, that allows users to specify the placement of elements. Its parser, layout engine, and SVG renderer are built with TypeScript and have no runtime dependencies. A command-line tool converts .reladraw text files into SVG. The project is in its early stages, and the developers welcome issue reports, especially for diagrams that cannot be represented, as the language is still evolving rapidly.

Unlike other diagramming tools that automate layout, Reladraw 0.8.0 uniquely allows users to specify exact element placement, offering full control over the visual output.
