Question for mermaid users out there. I have not used mermaid more than just superficially looking at it but it looks to me like a re-implementation of graphviz? Which has been around forever. Is there something it does that makes it more appealing?
I am not knocking this Free Mermaid Diagram Editor either. Seems decent. But, similarly, edotor has been around forever.

- dTal 2mo agoIt does more types of charts, including Gantt charts. Very useful.
- hackthemack 2mo agoThank you. I went and looked at what else it could do and it does have a much larger feature set.
- stronglikedan 2mo agoMermaid has become the de facto charting language when working with AI, so it has been elevated to the chosen one, like Python.
- qn9n 2mo agoIt also renders on GitHub in markdown files with ```mermaid``` code blocks so it's super useful for adding architecture diagrams and similar to your README
