Mermaid Chart

My front end to mermaid is usually claude. I can’t count how many times trying to convey a complicated idea (last week, a one time use token in a 3 party where my backend can’t…

I haven’t had issues with it enough to notice, but I do tolerate it making code mistakes as just part of the deal now. I fix the little errors (claude said it made a deps.edn…

FWIW, I find MermaidChart's sequence diagram editor better than the sequencediagram.org one!

I spent some time playing around with this recently and loved it at first. I also realized ChatGPT is pretty good at generating Mermaid diagrams (didn't try your own AI…

> it just wouldn't let me organize/drag things where I wanted, and I couldn't get things to not overlap I suspect this might be a fundamental issue with mermaid. I've always had…

The only reason anyone uses mermaid is because it's low friction and most editors support it out of the box or through plugins. But its layouting engine sucks and everything…

I only use diagramming tools with automatic layout algos to generate visualizations programmatically to debug things. For documentation purpose, I largely prefer to draw them by…

You lost me at Create your account. I would just want to play with the editor and store in the local browser storage until I decide I like it.

Please forgive my posting on the broader topic of Mermaid... The Mermaid package has gotten much bigger recently. Compare mermaid.min.js across a sampling of major releases: ```…

This is definitely a gap in current Mermaid functionality. This is a gap we're aiming to close in 2025. Significant Whiteboard improvements and expanded diagram support is on the…

Hi there, Mermaid CEO here:) I hear you on the whiteboard. It's still in its early days. Should be substantially improved in the coming months. To clarify on mermaidchart.com and…

Any idea when Mermaid diagrams will render outside of web browsers? https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/issues/2485 <rant> Aside, I'm the author of KeenWrite…

Hello Dominic. Seconding the question on browserless rendering in the other comment. Having to (unseccessfully for us so far; the text renders incorrectly) tweak selenium setups…

I have been using the beta and would certainly appreciate a few more layouts. You can have a look at yEd for inspiration. Otherwise, it looks very promising!

I think the main reason why diagrams are not used as often as they should to document code bases is that we developers have to face opposite yet complementary approaches: text…

I used this recently as someone shared a link to a diagram at work and I edited it for my own comprehension. It's nice. I'd prefer to have this in VSCode tho!

Do Mermaid class diagrams support generics (parameterized types)?

With Draw.io embedding Mermaid diagrams and plug-ins available for VSCode and other IDEs, why is this so special?

Nice! I love how mermaid keeps getting better! For sequence-diagrams, nothing beats https://sequencediagram.org/ (I am not connected with them in any way, just a happy user)

That's pretty cool. Wish PlantUML community would have something like it.

I settled on excalidraw via obsidian https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin

We make (and sell) one, you can play with it here: https://play.d2lang.com/?script=qlDQtVOo5AIEAAD__w%3D%3D&layout=tala& Bigger example:…
