Thanks! I was writing a FastAPI/SQLAlchemy+SQLModel/Rocketry app this week and dreaded documenting my model relationships. That said, I see a few SQLAlchemy extensions and Pydantic→Mermaid projects that can probably be used in my case, and that was the route I was initially planning on going down despite none of them being aesthetically pleasing.

Many of these online tools reasonably rely on human input to place tables/nodes. Do any of these recommended tools do a decent job of smartly laying out the final diagram?

Agree, We could do some improvements to Auto-Layout. Our tool does remember your layout adjustments

Ah, that's nice to hear. This is one of my frustrations with Mermaid - trying to work out he magical correct ordering of entities to render something that isn't too chaotic.
