I am requesting a feature where we can create animated diagrams (with making one/more steps visible at a time), and it should have controls like autoplay with necessary export options, e.g. GIF, video file, etc. This should be supported for diagram-as-a-code, so that the person creating the diagram can write some simple syntax and create easily explainable animated diagrams.

I have researched on the same topic and couldn't find a ready to use solution from you or any of your competitors. I have created a script of my own which was built on top of https://mermaid.js.org by using their JavaScript file and extending their syntax, the output of that script can be viewed on this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Tpe36eZ2bkyHHv0FJ7jThHVo2rwnCkqn/view?usp=drive_link .

I am requesting something similar in terms of animation, which can help with great amount when it comes to self-explanatory diagrams, especially huge diagrams with more than 30–40 nodes with complex links among them.

P.S. This feature can easily become your USP (unique selling point).

A simple animation that shows data flow.
