Oh boy! I've used Mermaid to draw up an ERD for a relatively simple (yet kind of awkward) back end solution before and it was really simple. The fact that it can integrate with GitHub .mds is awesome.
Looking forward to convincing our client that drawing (coding?) a sequence diagram is a valuable use of time.
I love the integration with markdown, but I have to say that I think I still prefer D2. The syntax in D2 is far more consistent across the board and, in my opinion, is easier to learn and use....
I love the integration with markdown, but I have to say that I think I still prefer D2. The syntax in D2 is far more consistent across the board and, in my opinion, is easier to learn and use. Mermaid has some awesome graph types (e.g. quadrant chats and git commit flows) that I don't think D2 supports, so I'd probably use it for those cases if I needed them.
Overall, great to have another diagramming tool. They make documentation so much easier and higher quality when you can convert relatively simple text to visual diagrams.
Usually I avoid frameworks like this because the syntax is a pain, but this one actually looks quite simple.
