q.uiver.app/arrowgram workshop lunch at Bistro Bastardo @CT2025 (Mexická restaurace) Nám. Svobody 92/21, 602 00 Brno-střed around 13:00pm-14:00pm this Friday 18th July (WITH an optional online meeting link)
... OR at an alternative place and time, maybe Saturday etc. (anyone simply create and share here any new hackathon/workshop event created at https://hotdocx.github.io )
This lunch event is to discuss q.uiver.app vs arrowgram (vs q.uiver.app/arrowgram vs arrowgram/q.uiver.app etc.)
note that q.uiver.app is presently not able to export to SVG
https://github.com/varkor/quiver/issues/8
arrowgram is a React component that renders SVG diagrams of arrows, nodes, and labels from a declarative JSON specification. It is designed for creating mathematical diagrams, such as commutative diagrams used in category theory, directly within a web application. The component is self-contained, performing all necessary geometric calculations to translate the abstract specification into a visually clear SVG representation. It is intended for use in markdown rendering pipelines or interactive development environments like Sandpack. arrowgram can export to SVG.

Note: The event's page also has some more share features and an automatically-created link to an associated online meeting (via Teams) for 13:00pm-14:00pm this Friday 18th July

Note: in general such apps as https://hotdocx.github.io could be used by events organizers/participants to promote/synchronize the discovery of local lunch options at conferences...
P.S. for the future record, Arkor were given an opportunity to respond to q.uiver.app vs arrowgram @Valeria de Paiva
Kevin Carlson (Jul 18 2025 at 00:06):Can arrowgram also export to TiKZ or some other vector graphics programming language (assuming we don't consider SVG itself a vector graphics programming language, I suppose...)
Valeria de Paiva (Jul 18 2025 at 00:25):Why am I tagged to this conversation? I am no developer of graphical apps TiKZ, quiver, or anything else like that.
Morgan Rogers (he/him) (Jul 18 2025 at 11:05):Should I move this to #community: events > CT 2025 ?

[DONE]
Thanks for the reminder.
The intention was that arrowgram is meant to be used in rendering flow with Gemini 2.5 Pro AI processing and generation of textual JSON spec of arrowgram diagrams... so tikzcd appeared irrelevant at the time of design/architecture of the app.
Anyone has any other feature requests ?
OK, times is up it was a productive first q.uiver.app vs arrowgram workshop, now there is an upcoming CT2025 seminar in 5 minutes, more updates late... A+

Nathanael Arkor (Jul 20 2025 at 08:17):I was not checking Zulip during CT, but – to be clear – I think having more tools to make researchers' lives easier is a good thing. I don't think it is helpful to phrase things in terms of "one tool vs another".
Nathanael Arkor (Jul 20 2025 at 08:18):(In any case I think it is true that SVG support would be useful for quiver and I hope to look into it in the next few weeks.)
