How could you build up such expectations and not include samples? I went to the link and the full documentation and only saw one diagram: a circle and a square with an arrow between. Please, demonstrate the capabilities.
My first thought is that it needs more thorough documentation. As you said, it's thin right now.
My second thought is that it really needs text. As it stands, for labels, I'd have to capture the image from the HTML file and use my image editor to add text. Doable, but text on the diagram would be great.
The chessboard was very easy. Took just a few minutes to write once I had some sense of how to use the package. I think there might be a bug in the Square shape initializer. This didn't work:
Square(20, fill='red')
Python complains of a missing "size" parameter. When I wrote it as if it was a Rect:
Square(None, 20, fill='red')
It worked fine. An apparent issue with the dunder init signature, perhaps?
For the process diagram, I had to use "ghost" boxes. I left the stroke visible just to see their location; that could be make white to vanish them completely. But I seemed to need them to get the spacing I wanted. I first tried a Column of Rows but couldn't get columns to line up. Then I tried a Row of Columns, and that worked better. But I still had to use ghost shapes for spacing. A matrix-like layout would be a treat.
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. Yes definitely a text label is missing, and that square bug 🤦♂️ shame on me. I'm working on better layouts for doing things like grid-based placement. It's going to keep evolving. Thanks a lot for trying it out ;)
Kinda but I believe ggplot is designed from the ground up for the data-to-plot domain. Which means is really good for Altair-like graphics, things like project this dataframe into a barchart domain.
Where are the examples? The gallery?

Show us what you’ve got! Please.
Haha fair, I've been updating the gallery, it's still rather simple but closer to what I intended.
Sweet. I've been wanting something like this. I'll give it a shot ASAP.
Cool! Love to hear whatever feedback you have later on :)
I played with it a bit today. I put two images in a Note:

Interesting product, if obviously in early days.

Another neat feature would be something like Sprites — bitmap images you could put on the drawing.
I'll anticipate new features, but it already looks like it will be useful in making some diagrams I need for a project.
Cool! Reminds me of ggplot/Grammar of Graphics for figures.

Could this work for documentation of IT systems, networks and so on?
Maybe a github discussion would make sense
