I really like using Mermaid to create state diagrams. I'd been looking for a tool like it for quite some time, and I think it slipped under my radar because it's more focused on sequence / flow diagrams and doesn't hype its state diagram capabilities as much. Using a text-based tool for this is so much better than my previous workflow of Visio or Powerpoint.

Have you seen xstate's visualizer? https://xstate.js.org/viz/

Thanks for sharing! There's an updated viz at https://stately.ai/viz but that will soon be fully part of the studio at https://state.new (which can export to Mermaid now and PlantUML soon!)

I hadn't seen that, thanks for the link.

Last time I tried this it unnecessarily crossed a lot of the arrows between states. Turned a diagram of a moderately complex real world SM into an incomprehensible tangle even to developers familiar with the actual implementation. Does it still do that?

I haven't run into that, but maybe that's just because I haven't tried anything too complex yet.
