I keep trying to generate SVG using LLMS when I feel mermaidjs does not work. There has to be a better option here? I just want slightly more control than mermaidjs sometimes, but it seems its the de-facto default we are stuck with.
I have tried to use ChatGPT and Google's Gemini to make SVG from simple logos bitmaps but its still a daunting task for them, so I guess tools like this one will still be needed for a while.

If you search for ‘vectorization AI’ there are a handful of specialized tools and apis that can do it. It worked well for a handful of logos I wanted to convert. Nano banana generated the raster logos, and these other tools vectorized them
Free idea: turn this into an MCP server. Give the agent the ability to virtually "hover" a path and see which part of the final render it corresponds to
It seems like the problem of pushing pixels around in an exact way and iterating on visual design is a problem that needs very specialized tools, regardless whether there is LLM support.
I use this often when I need to work with individual path commands, it’s a great tool!
Very cool! I wish more editors would exist as web services, easily solving the cross-platformity that way.
I'm in the opposite camp. Give me some local tool that does disappear when the maintainer moves to the next thing.
Well and I can eat the cake as well, make it some native app that has proper performance.
What is the problem with this app's performance?
Nice!
I like how it highlights the commands when you hover over them, allowing you to see what they actually do.
Does it support converting between line segments and bezier curves smoothly?
cool stuff, the favicon could even replicate the current svg state
I tried it in Firefox and Chrome, but changing the SVG shape did not change the favicon displayed on the tab. I don't think I understand what you meant.
PS: This submission of mine is at least a day old, but it now shows as posted about 3 hours ago; I presume this is because it is from the second-chance pool.
I think they meant it as a feature suggestion (given that it should be easy to implement since SVG files can be used as favicons).
