The npm package is free to use, but closed source until I have bandwidth.

To be clear, you don’t need an account to use the npm package which has all of the functionality to perform layout and rendering. An account is only needed if you want to sync the graph and have a web page to view renderings. This is useful if you’ve instrumented a long lived application with Vizdom, but don’t want to produce a local layout/rendered image because you can’t really “view” it if the service is running in the cloud.

an account. to make a diagram. sigh diagrams-as-a-service. sign. "turn your OCD side project into a business: turn something that people do for free and don't really care that much about into a paid subscription service because..."
This seems unjustified. If people want it, they'll buy it. If not, no harm done. If you could e.g. embed the diagrams into Confluence pages, that's something people will definitely pay for.
I don't think its even OCD side project its just a contrived "how 2 make saas business?"
Ah ok thanks for clarifying!
