Hi!
In the latest version, no javascript skills are required (by you still able to do it all with javascript, I just wrote a bunch of "stock" ones, for typical tasks like tooltip, sidebar, popover). You can do custom tooltips and sidebar with with simple markup (
markdown)
Something like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huWBvz3CBzE&t=16sPlease note: in the version 1.2.2 (beta) there is a small bug - please make sure you set the checkbox "mustache template" in the settings for the above functionality to work! (see screenshot below)
"Layers" and "Zoom" are out of the box.
There are some improvements regarding scroll/zoom for mobile - in particular, iPad/iPhone specific stuff (tags to tell the browser that zoom is supported). Then "two finger touch" option for mobile devices, and ctrl/shift option for desktop - so that when embedding a drawing, and scrolling it on a tablet, the page is scrolled, not the embedded diagram by default. These options can be found under "advanced" tab.
Some use cases I'm aware of - the tool was used by users to drawing electric schematics for cars (for layers), and some business process stuff (for popovers)
There are some known issues with CISCO stencils (especially with those marked as "powerpoint") - does not work for some shapes, embedded emf is not rendered properly, but probably you won't hit those.
One more thing regarding Windows 7 / Visio 2010 install (reported by one customer). If you see "invalid certificate", make sure you have all windows/office updates installed. In particular, this one:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3001652/ (the
latest vsto runtime). This is about SHA-256 support.
