## What it is
A Neovim plugin written in Lua for drawing ASCII diagrams, boxes, lines, and arrows directly inside text buffers. It provides commands like :VBox to render rectangles from visual selections and supports keymapping setups for faster diagram creation.

## Use cases
- draw ascii diagrams in neovim
- create box diagrams in text files
- draw lines and arrows in a code editor
- make ascii art architecture diagrams
- sketch flowcharts inside vim buffers
- draw venn-style diagrams in plain text

## When to avoid
- you need rendered graphical diagrams or images
- you don't use Neovim or Vim
- you need collaborative or WYSIWYG diagramming tools like draw.io

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: editor, graphics, developer-tools
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools, documentation
- platform: editor-plugin, cli, cross-platform
- tags: neovim, ascii-art, diagrams, lua, vim-plugin
