Why is it still so hard to go from hand drawn diagram to something that can be shown on github and maintained online?

Should look nice hand drawn, have a language, be easy to edit.

I guess so, but if you want to do something a bit more lively than their examples, I find it gets hairy easily. This might actually be something llms could be really good at.

I told claude what I want and it actually generated me a reasonably nice diagram. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, many of my illustrations for the past couple years have been rough drafted by ChatGPT in a diagram language I was familiar with (but no expert), with me then tweaking it manually until I was happy.
