This is really cool!

I especially love the ability to flip and reverse things, since I try to avoid comparing any two objects in different orientations, to cut down on mistakes.

It would be really cool if the community had a more general purpose open standard interactive diagramming tool for this sort of thing.

I guess the easy way would be to mark up photographs with pin locations, which would map to pins in a table, allowing for multiple tables in a document.

I'm not sure how you'd capture the data in a way that could be rendered to something like a screen reader or a more abstract diagram though, without a lot of complexity and edge cases.

Would it be enough to just verbally describe the mapping between pin numbers and the physical layout, as in "Across then down, starting at upper left", or would you need a meta data scheme for that?
