#mermaid

Mermaid is the de facto standard for text-based diagrams. It's brilliant. But the default renderer has problems: Aesthetics — Might be personal preference, but wished they looked more professional Complex theming — Customizing colors requires wrestling with CSS classes No terminal output — Can't render to ASCII for CLI tools Heavy dependencies — Pulls in a lot of code for simple diagrams We built beautiful-mermaid at Craft to power diagrams in Craft Agents. It's fast, beautiful, and works everywhere—from rich UIs to plain terminals.
