What people are saying

Very nice looking diagrams for the amount of effort required to make them as a client of the library. I love that it uses exactly 1 WebComponent. I love / am vaguely confused…

ble·Nov 20, 2023Recommendation phrase
Very nice looking diagrams for the amount of effort required to make them as a client of the library. I love that it uses exactly 1 WebComponent. I love / am vaguely confused that it doesn't read the component's own DOM but instead gets the `.outerHTML`: https://github.com/franciscop/vector-graph/blob/master/index... I guess that it means that the actual rendering gets fully decoupled from the live, but hidden DOM tree within the WebComponent and that live DOM tree doesn't really matter aside from first render.
In Ask HN: What's the state of the art for drawing math diagrams online?
It's dual-licensed as AGPL (free software) and commercial (with a one-time $19 fee), the AGPL is pretty restrictive so if you want a more liberal one you could buy it. But, as a 3rd option exclusive for you in here, you can use it for free in your own website without having to comply with the AGPL. See a longer-form explanation: https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/4877 What the AGPL does differently compared to e.g. GPL is basically say that you cannot build a proprietary service around my library without making that service open source as well. So theoretically, it could be argued that depending on how you use it in your website, you would need to make your website free software as well. Or, buy a license. (Or in this case, get an exception from me). This is just a friendly explanation, the full legal terms are here: https://github.co
