Does it have any advantages over yUML?

Discourse-yuml: Add yUML diagrams to discourse posts

discourse-yuml adds yUML support to discourse. From the readme discourse-yuml Add the ability to write yUML class diagrams directly into a discourse post. [Example of yUML diagram in discourse] Installation Docker To install in docker, add the following to your app.yml in the plugins section: hooks: after_code: - exec: cd: $home/plugins cmd: - mkdir -p plugins - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git - git clone htt…

Being a theme-component instead of a plugin means it can be installed easily, even on shared hosting, and there is no need for rebuilds.

yuml also draws, well, UML diagrams, while svgbob is a free form drawing tool.

Note, we moved this to my personal repo, this is no longer an official theme component.

I think it needs a little extra undressing to remove all its ‘official’ clothes. As it’s a wiki I’ve taken the liberty of removing the ‘official’ blurb and hosting info, and dropping the for .

Ideally it would also have the topic ownership changed away from @Discourse and back to you, as well as having its tag icon removed and being snipped out of the ‘official theme component’ tag group as well. The hidden #ecb tag also needs to be removed.

The preview in theme creator could also do with being changed from Discourse to yourself as well.

(Theoretically, third-party theme components don’t get their own tag, but you may be able to pull some strings and have an exception If even you don’t have enough sway for that then the svgbob topics may need a tidy up too)

ETA: Also a removal from the official list in the doc as well Customizing your site with existing theme components
