Show HN: RIFC-light, offline, pseudocode based flow chart generator

RIFC is a offline flow chart generator, similar to latex or mermaid, based on its own estructured pseudocode. It's made on python, having its own parser, and layout engine.

The focus of the program is to help do quick diagrams without the need of a visual editor, saving time. Being easy to learn, due to the natural-alike language of the code, based on brackets and simple key words, can also be a great educative tool.

It uses a custom parser to tokenize expressions based on parentheses; the layout engine then converts these into an image by generating an SVG. This custom engine paves the way for what I want to implement in future updates: the ability to "simulate" the diagram, allowing users to test the flow logic and even export that logic as "boilerplate" code.
