## What it is
A browser-based visual editor for creating commutative diagrams that exports to tikzcd LaTeX code. It can be self-hosted from a static build or used via the hosted web app.

## Use cases
- draw commutative diagrams for category theory papers
- create tikzcd diagrams without writing LaTeX by hand
- visually edit arrow diagrams and export LaTeX code
- self-host a diagram editor for math writing
- make diagrams for math lecture notes

## When to choose
- you need commutative diagrams as tikzcd code for LaTeX documents
- you prefer drag-and-drop editing over hand-writing tikzcd
- you want a lightweight self-hosted static tool

## When to avoid
- you need general-purpose diagramming beyond commutative diagrams
- you need diagrams in other formats like SVG or Mermaid
- you need actively developed features or support

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: editor, graphics
- domain: education, mathematics, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: tikzcd, commutative-diagrams, latex, category-theory, visual-editor, web-server, nodejs
