Meanwhile they could've just bundled mermaid-ascii and run it on wasm. But then again probably took Claude less than an hour to port this to TS. The main algorithms are 1:1 conversion. https://github.com/AlexanderGrooff/mermaid-ascii/blob/master/cmd/draw.go#L170-L238 https://github.com/AlexanderGrooff/mermaid-ascii/blob/master... https://github.com/lukilabs/beautiful-mermaid/blob/main/src/ascii/draw.ts#L30-L80 https://github.com/lukilabs/beautiful-mermaid/blob/main/src/...

And its in Go, so no package management joke involved. I will integrate it into my debugger, thx for the link!

Yikes, good catch. I've changed the link above to the original project now. (Edit: actually, let's use the project home page and put the Github repo in the toptext.) (Submitted link was https://github.com/lukilabs/beautiful-mermaid https://github.com/lukilabs/beautiful-mermaid. mellosouls is a good HN contributor so I'm sure this was well-intentioned.)

  I appreciate your comment, but I made mermaid-ascii OSS under MIT license so that everybody can use it in whatever fashion they like, be that in another OSS project or in your company. I’m just happy to contribute back to the ecosystem, and I’m excited seeing my projects being used by others. Nothing but good vibes to these guys. Let’s all strive to keep making cool things, and leave things a little better than how you found it ;)

    I'm going to take that as an implicit (and generous) request to put the submitted URL back at the top, so I've done this, and included the two links to your work in the toptext. Seems like a fair balance. Thank you!

Just another AI copies the entire project and you get to put your name on it.
