IMO mermaid is awesome, but for two somewhat indirect reasons:
- There’s an almost wysiwig editor for mermaid at https://www.mermaidchart.com/play https://www.mermaidchart.com/play . It’s very convenient and appropriately changes the layout as you draw arrows!
- Notion supports inline mermaid charts in code blocks (with preview!) It’s awesome for putting some architecture diagrams in Eng docs.
- jdougan 1y agoObsidian also supports inline mermaid charts in markdown code blocks. One of those features I don't see mentioned much.
- novia 1y agogithub / gitlab too!
- fastball 1y agoSupernotes too!
- patrickk 1y agoLLMs (I use ChatGPT) can take a generic process description, spit out the result in mermaid, which can then be imported and refined in something like draw.io. Yes, you’ll have to correct a few things by hand, but it drastically speeds things up. Last time I check draw.io is supported in obsidian.
- inadequatespace 1y agoI recently tried this, but the import to draw.io did not go well. It imported as a single static image rather an editable diagram. Maybe I did something wrong?
- patrickk 1y agoUsually in such cases either copy and paste the error message from draw.io, or screenshot it and upload to chatGPT. It will debug it for you. There’s also a specific sequence of steps to import mermaid scripts, I don’t remember the menu location by heart, ChatGPT can also give you the steps needed to do this.
- SkyPuncher 1y agoGithub supports inline mermaid charts, too! I've been starting to include them in my bigger PRs and reviewers really like them.
- codeduck 1y agoHugo does this as well.
- Teocali 1y agoAbout Notion, they do indeed support Mermaid, but their included version is quite obsolete and they don’t seems so eager to update it. A shame.
