That's really cool! I am working on a diagramming editor and I wondered if I could expand the use cases to include knowledge organization. The challenge is mainly to display a lot of data on a canvas and don't kill the CPU/GPU in the process. How do you handle displaying that much information at once?

The self-hosting option is nice but, from what I understand, I would not even need to do that if you provided end-to-end encryption with PGP. i.e. the form is encrypted with my public key, then sent to your server, then sent to my e-mail, then decrypted with my private key.
With such option, the self-hosting is still a nice to have, if you cease to provide the service at formbee.dev.
This is really neat! I would love to see something similar for laptops. I bought a used Lenovo T80s (8th generation i5 CPU / 8GB of RAM / 256GB SSD) for 150$cad on eBay to work on my product (web app) and it is working flawlessly with Debian.

I fixed the issue, you can reload the page!

Wow, this looks very interesting. I saw the diagram of your own application and it looks more dynamic than the ones that I am generally used to at work.
I am curious about the motivation behind this project. What experiences triggered you to think that static diagrams are a problem?
Your answer will help me decide whether I'd like to use it for my own documentation or not.
Thank you for your comment!
I decided to work on gg because I want my colleagues to grok our complex software architecture, and I don't feel like I am able to achieve that with textual documentation + static diagrams alone.
I have been in a lot of brainstorming sessions drawing boxes and arrows on a whiteboard. I have produced a lot of diagrams with mermaid, draw.io, miro, etc. I produced a lot of documentation to explain how the software is built. Those are all good tools to get everyone on the same page, and yet, I feel like there is a missing piece of the puzzle to explain a software architecture simply and concisely that even the new junior developer recruit will understand.

Try cleaning your browser local storage for https://gg-charts.com.
There is currently a bug in the app that let someone inject a JS snippet to execute (to confirm) in the URL "file" property. The app then save the content of that "file" property in the local storage, so every time you open https://gg-charts.com, it loads this data from local storage and re-execute the JS snippet.
I'll fix that today, sorry for the inconvenience. :-/ The web is the far west!

Love this. Would love to be able to:
a) Pause
b) Step through the individual steps (I see they're titled)
c) Go back / Forward to grokk better
Yes, me too :)
I am working on a viewer / presentation mode that will do just that.

I really liked the UI and the ease with which diagrams can be created.Will it be possible to import diagrams from other tools like draw.io here.
I think it is a great idea!
There is no plan yet to support importers directly in gg but the graphs produced with gg have a YAML/JSON representation under the hood so producing a "draw.io to gg" importer is feasible.
