- mlysk 6mo agoAuthor here: I use mermaid lot as well and for some things like process flows, and to model interactions it it outrules excalidraw and posts will follow where i need exactly that. but to visualize things high level i find excalidraw way nicer.
- latchkey 6mo agoI made it so that anyone who writes mermaid in HN comments, can see it inline comments, when the OJ extension is installed. https://oj-hn.com/assets/mermaid-light.png https://oj-hn.com/assets/mermaid-light.png
- jcul 6mo agoYou know you can just paste mermaid into excalidraw? It has a mermaid WYSIWYG editor and once the diagram is inserted you can edit it, move objects, add text just like you had drawn it directly in excalidraw. I usually enter mermaid and then move things around to my liking rather than drawing from scratch. You can also paste csv in, it's been a while since I've done it but I think it even generates a chart.
