I made https://vector-graph.com/ a while back and documented it pretty thoroughly. While I never "finished" it, it's working pretty fine and as long as you fix it to a specific version, you won't have to worry about changes if/when I continue working on it.

Feedback would be greatly welcome! It's made specifically for the usecase you mention, blog-like website with Katex to add pretty graphics. Example usage:

    <!-- Draw a triangle with labels on the sides and angles -->
    <vector-graph x="3" y="3" axis="false">
      <polygon points="0,0;1,3;3,1" sides="a,b,c" angles="α,β,γ"></polygon>
    </vector-graph>

    <!-- a + b = c, but in vector form (with lots of labels) -->
    <vector-graph x="4.9" y="4.9">
      <vector label="b" color="blue" from="3,4" to="4,2" axis></vector>
      <vector label="a" color="red" from="0,0" to="3,4" axis></vector>
      <vector label="c" from="0,0" to="4,2"></vector>
    </vector-graph>

Lol, thanks. I'll check it out. But, is the license such that you need to give permission? I see that you have a "commercial license" but it seems like that wouldn't apply to me anyway. I don't know much about software licenses tbh so some clarification would be nice.
