We did this 3 months ago, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=16889181" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=16889181</a>

I was just doing some diagrams last night. And my wife told me:&quot;Why don&#x27;t you make a program that makes them?&quot; and I just thought: &quot;She has no idea how hard that would be&quot;.<p>Awesome work!

I still don&#x27;t understand why you would write this instead of a Graphviz renderer.

Just tried using this for a project last week. Whatever algorithm it uses for positioning nodes is terrible. You end up with a huge confusing spaghetti mess of a diagram.

Looks nice and I am just looking for a replacement for plantUML.<p>The syntax looks very similar and I wonder whether it is a superset of plantUML format. That would actually be great.

DiagrammeR uses Mermaid to do flowcharts in R. I used it to do the gantts for a project I&#x27;m running last week!

can i use this using a cli ? I&#x27;m not able to find the documentation for this for using it through the nodejs cli.<p>Edit. - found this <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mermaidjs&#x2F;mermaid.cli" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mermaidjs&#x2F;mermaid.cli</a>

Why not just use tikz &#x2F; LaTeX?

Is there any way to make diagrams render in a github readme?
